NOTE: this is an experiment, subject to change.
This works with the Meteor todos example project.
I'm using a pure JavaScript DDP client to talk to Meteor (via DDP).
However - instead of maintaining meteor collections with JavaScript objects it's using @petehunt's minimongo-cache to store them. This branch of DDPClient exposes minimongo-cache via collections
var ddpClient = new DDPClient({url: 'ws://127.0.0.1:3000/websocket'});
ddpClient.collections // minimongo-cache instanceHere's an example using minimongo-cache
var ddpClient = new DDPClient({url: 'ws://127.0.0.1:3000/websocket'});
var subComplete = () => {
var todoItems = ddpClient.collections.observe(() => ddpClient.collections.lists.find({}));
todoItems.subscribe((results) => this.updateRows(results));
}
ddpClient.connect(() => ddpClient.subscribe('publicLists', undefined, subComplete));Here's the same functionality with the master branch of the node-ddp-client for reference
var ddpClient = new DDPClient({url: 'ws://127.0.0.1:3000/websocket'});
ddpClient.connect(() => ddpClient.subscribe('publicLists'));
// observe the lists collection
var observer = ddpClient.observe("lists");
observer.added = () => this.updateRows(_.cloneDeep(_.values(ddpClient.collections.lists)));
observer.changed = () => this.updateRows(_.cloneDeep(_.values(ddpClient.collections.lists)));
observer.removed = () => this.updateRows(_.cloneDeep(_.values(ddpClient.collections.lists)));If you'd like to start playing around with the minimongo-cache branch of the DDPClient take a look at the package.json file. It's pointed at the latest commit of that branch.
