Meteor.js: Getting Started

MeteorJS is a JavaScript framework that facilitates rapid web application development by integrating client-side code with a Node.js and MongoDB backend. It offers a straightforward installation process and allows developers to quickly set up and run applications, exemplified by the creation of a simple Todo application. MeteorJS supports various testing frameworks, such as Jasmine and Mocha, through the popular Velocity test runner, although the testing ecosystem is still evolving, with some challenges in integration and documentation. The framework uses templates to manage views and provides tools for handling client-server interactions and data validations, making it a powerful option for building dynamic applications. Despite some hurdles with testing, MeteorJS remains a promising tool with ongoing improvements expected in its testing capabilities.
