Real-Time Features

Meteor is well-known for its real-time capabilities. You can use this to build features like live chat or real-time notifications.

Example of Real-Time Chat:

Client Side:

Template.chat.events({
  'submit .new-message': function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
const text = event.target.text.value;
Messages.insert({ text, createdAt: new Date() });
event.target.text.value = '';
  }
});

Server Side:

Meteor.publish('messages', function () {
  return Messages.find();
});

Client Side Subscription:

Meteor.subscribe('messages');
