Bower components / asset server for Meteor that avoids the intense hot push delays

README.md

This route mitigates meteor #3373.

If you aren't experiencing that issue, you don't need this coffee.

To use

$ meteor add patte:mime-npm # and iron:router if you don't use it yet

Also, move your bower folder to .bower_components, right in the root/top of your project (or change the path). Then copy in the assets.coffee file below.

assets.coffee

fs = Npm.require 'fs'

Router.map ->
  @route 'bower',
    path: '/bower_components/:path(.*)'
    where: 'server'
    action: ->
      path = "#{process.env.PWD}/.bower_components/#{@params.path}"
      @response.writeHead 200, 'Content-type': MIME.lookup(path)
      @response.end fs.readFileSync path
