#Meteor and Self-hosted Infrastructure

Meteor is an eye-opening JavaScript framework that runs on both the client and the server, giving developers a revolutionary take on software engineering. If you are not familiar with Meteor, I urge you to visit their website.

##An overview

In this brief gist, I am going to discuss the process of setting up a server (in my case, a VPS) to host Meteor applications.

My experience with Meteor has been brief, however it has not taken much demonstration for me to realise the significance of this stellar framework. Let's jump right in!

How to Update An Array of Subdocuments on a MongoDB Collection in MeteorJS

This is a gist created for a comment to an answer provided on stackoverflow.com.

@David Weldon: Thanks for your answer. Below I edited my input, but got the below output. Maybe this is the default behavior of db.ideas.find(). I'll do some looking around. I expected to also get the subdocuments also when I performed the db.ideas.find().

Code I ran:

Ideas.update("bKXXrpYmppFBfq9Kx", {
  $addToSet: {

This is output from a Meteor Project intended for a stackoverflow.com question

@Michael Floyd: Here is the output from your suggestion.

".find() and .findOne() format slightly differently in the meteor mongo console, try the latter. Or try db.ideas.findOne(id).score" -

$ meteor mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.7
connecting to: 127.0.0.1:3001/meteor

Response to comment on a stackoverflow question

@David Weldon: Thank you for your response. I reset the project, and this time instead of running that update from my browser, I ran it right within the fixtures.js (which is obviously run from the server on startup). I am happier with how things are going into mongo on this reset, but I still can't read my subdocument - it's as if I'm not updating them properly. I feel like they are not there at all.

Here is the relevant fixture.js content:

// The "elvesEpisodetwoId" is set above in the file, I didn't include it because we are not experiencing problems with that collection at all and I'm pretty sure my client would like me to keep some level of privacy as much as possible for the code.

// Add Filler Idea Posts for Elves of Our Lord
var elvesEpisodeTwoIdeaOneId = Ideas.insert({

// Option 1
(function(arraySize = 10, timesToRun = 1000){
  let myArray = Array.apply(null, {length: arraySize}).map(Number.call, Number);
  let resultsArray = Array.apply(null, Array(arraySize)).map(Number.prototype.valueOf,0);
  for (let i = 0; i < timesToRun; i++) {
    var result = _.sample(myArray);
    resultsArray[result]++;
  }
  return resultsArray;
})(/*10, 1000*/);
