Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

This module integrates development with Meteor (http://meteor.com/) and Drupal. Meteor is a platform built on Node.JS. Using Meteor, you can specify the layout and basic rules for your data and then let the underlying tools handle real-time updates between users (for example publishing a change from one user to other users, and refreshing everything on their screen that depends on that data). Meteor automated the basic infrastructure tasks to make it easy to built apps with real-time communication.

The Meteor module for Drupal is in early stages of development. The module is intended for developers who want to write their own Meteor code. The tools it will provide are:

- Integration with Drupal sessions, so you can access user information in your Meteor code
- Simple functions to add Meteor apps to your Drupal pages
- Simple hooks to integrate data from Drupal into Meteor apps
- Integration with comment and node changes as a sample of the above

Initial development releases are targeted for late July 2013. If you're interested in trying it out or participating in development, feel free to get in touch with me!

Development of this module is sponsored by Garand Webtech Inc. (http://garandwebtech.com/).
