Installation

meteor add ostrio:meteor-root

Usage

1const pathToFile = `${Meteor.rootPath}/directory/where/is/your/file.json`;

Returns absolute path to programs/server directory of your compiled application, without trailing slash.

1const pathToFile = `${Meteor.absolutePath}/.meteor/local/build/programs/server/directory/where/is/your/file.json`;

Returns absolute path to .meteor directory of your compiled application, without trailing slash.

Note: Be aware of the path stored in Meteor.absolutePath, it points to the location where Meteor application is running. It isn't guaranteed to be the same path as the path of your project. For example, running Meteor in test-mode will return a path from a temporary location where it's running.
