13:25 deberg: [17:21:57] hey, i just saw your question.
13:25 eiki: [17:22:17] great - any ideas?
13:25 deberg: [17:22:19] the thing to use is futures.
13:25 eiki: [17:22:36] what's the difference?
13:25 eiki: [17:22:45] and do you know of any sample code?
13:25 deberg: [17:23:02] yeah, one place to look is the meteor HTTP package.
13:25 deberg: [17:23:11] packages/http/httpcall_server.js:64
13:25 deberg: [17:23:39] this is the basic pattern for wrapping a node callback.
13:25 eiki: [17:24:09] https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/master/packages/http/httpcall_server.js#L65
13:25 deberg: [17:24:35] you want to declare a new future, call future.return() inside the callback, and block the outer caller (your method) with future.wait().

12:34 tmeasday: possibilities, homunq: autosubscribe does a little bit more than that. Maybe you don't care but it e.g. captures subscriptions and stops them etc. You might want to take a look at https://github.com/tmeasday/meteor-deps-extensions
12:35 possibilities: tmeasday: but seems to work well without doing any of that, is there overhead
12:35 tmeasday: well, homunq isn't here anymore, but hey..
12:35 tmeasday: possibilities: hard to say i guess
12:36 possibilities: tmeasday: so you have your own lighter weight solution eh?
12:36 tmeasday: yeah, a couple of things i reckon they should add to the deps module.. i've thought of a few more actually but haven't gotten around to implementing them
12:36 tmeasday: I got tired of writing the same code all the time
12:37 possibilities: good work. i've been overloading autosubscribe to do all this. ends up with a lot of bookkeeping code.
