Introducing BlueLibs

• GitHub BlueLibs Monorepo
• Following the same bold vision of Meteor, but with a modern twist. www.bluelibs.com
• Read more about our approach coming from Meteor: https://www.bluelibs.com/blog/2021/11/26/the-meteor-of-2022
• We've implemented Grapher aka Nova as a standalone npm package compatible to native MongoDB drivers (including Meteor), it is not as feature-rich (no meta links, no pubsub functionality) but is more advanced.

Grapher 1.5

Grapher is a Data Fetching Layer on top of Meteor and MongoDB. It is production ready and battle tested. Brought to you by Cult of Coders — Web & Mobile Development Company.

Main features:

• Innovative way to make MongoDB relational
• Blends in with Apollo GraphQL making it highly performant
• Reactive data graphs for high availability
• Incredible performance
• Denormalization ability
• Connection to external data sources
• Usable from anywhere

It marks a stepping stone into evolution of data, enabling developers to write complex and secure code, while maintaining the code base easy to understand.

Testing

You can create test directory and configure dependencies (working directory is the root of this repo):

# create meteor app for testing
# you can add a specific release with --release flag, this will just create the app with the latest release
meteor create --bare test 
cd test
# install npm dependencies used for testing
meteor npm i --save selenium-webdriver@3.6.0 chromedriver@2.36.0 simpl-schema@1.13.1 chai

# Running tests (always from ./test directory)
METEOR_PACKAGE_DIRS="../" TEST_BROWSER_DRIVER=chrome meteor test-packages --once --driver-package meteortesting:mocha ../

If you use TEST_BROWSER_DRIVER=chrome you have to have chrome installed in the test environment. Otherwise, you can just run tests in your browser.

Another option is to use puppeteer as a driver. You'll have to install it with meteor npm i puppeteer@10. Note that the latest versions don't work with Node 14.

With --port=X you can run tests on port X.

Omit --once and mocha will run in watch mode.
