Call an asynchronous function and use its returned value from within a Meteor method using Future.
if(Meteor.isServer){
Meteor.methods({
myMeteorMethod: function() {
// load Future
Future = Npm.require('fibers/future');
var myFuture = new Future();
// call the function and store its result
SomeAsynchronousFunction("foo", function (error,results){
if(error){
myFuture.throw(error);
}else{
myFuture.return(results);
}
});
return myFuture.wait();
}
});
}

That "return myFuture.wait();" saved me from a lot of wasted time : ) Thanks. In many examples it's just "myFuture.wait()" and that way you can't return any value.
