How to use

meteor

Deployments

It is highly recommended to use Meteor Up for easy deployments. Have a look at the repository for more information.

SEO and other concerns

Meteor cannot do SEO

This statement is only partially true, since there is a package called ms-seo, which has a lot of neat little tricks to help web crawlers notice your app the way you want them to. Use constants under client/lib/constants.js for the app. Change SEO settings inside the routes like that.

Router.route('/about', function () {
  this.render('about');
  // Using the app constants
  SEO.set({ title: 'About -' + Meteor.App.NAME, og: {...} });
});

Adding allow rules for external URLs

The browser-policy adds rules to deny all operations from external URLs. This helps dealing with clickjacking and other XSS methods used to attack the client. To whitelist a url, add following to server/config/security.js

BrowserPolicy.content.allowOriginForAll(YOUR_URL);

Other security enforcing packages like audit-argument-checks and matteodem:easy-security have also been added.
