From Meteor's documentation:

In Meteor, your server code runs in a single thread per request, not in the asynchronous callback style typical of Node. We find the linear execution model a better fit for the typical server code in a Meteor application.

This guide serves as a mini-tour of tools, trix and patterns that can be used to run async code in Meteor.

Basic async

Sometimes we need to run async code in Meteor.methods. For this we create a Future to block until the async code has finished. This pattern can be seen all over Meteor's own codebase:

aseemk

var bases = require('bases');
var crypto = require('crypto');

// Returns a base-62 (alphanumeric only) string of the given length:
function randomStr(length) {
    // We generate a random number in a space at least as big as 62^length,
    // and if it's too big, we just retry. This is still statistically O(1)
    // since repeated probabilities less than one converge to zero. Hat-tip to
    // a Google interview for teaching me this technique! ;)
