Meteor Latency

Installation

$ meteor add mikael:latency

Usage

1Meteor.latency(amount);

The amount is an optional integer for how much latency to introduce. You should probably keep amount to 5 or lower.

Example

1
2// BOTH SERVER AND CLIENT
3Meteor.methods({
4  myMethod: function () {
5
6    // Add latency if we're on the server
7    if (!this.isSimulation) {
8      Meteor.latency(2);
9    }
10    return 'result';
11  }
12});
13
14// CLIENT
15Meteor.call('myMethod', function (error, result) {
16  console.log(result);
17});

Background

Found myself writing a bogus loop quite a bit when checking latency compensation on login forms, etc., for my Meteor projects. Inspired by @cmather's meteor-methods demo.
