meteor Environment Detection Client Environment Detection using Meteor Methods
Example
To detect the environment on the server, we have to create a helper method on the server, as the server will determine which environment it is in, and then call the helper method from the client. Basically, we just relay the environment info from the server to the client.
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// server/server.js
// we set up a getEnvironment method
Meteor.methods({
getEnvironment: function(){
if(process.env.ROOT_URL == "http://localhost:3000"){
return "development";
}else{
return "staging";
}
}
});
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// client/main.js
// and then call it from the client
Meteor.call("getEnvironment", function (result) {
console.log("Your application is running in the " + result + "environment.");
});
