Why Meteor Developers Love Meteor

Meteor is an open source and full stack JavaScript framework for developing real time mobile and web applications. It allows us to develop applications only with pure JavaScript and also it is different from other programming language concept but it’s easy to learn when compare with other JavaScript frameworks.

Database Integration

Meteor works with MongoDB by default. MongoDB package will be automatically included when you create a new meteor project. So it’s easy to get started with MongoDB. Also you can simply run MongoDB shell with a simple command(Meteor mongo). Therefore no need to connect database manually. It helps you to focus on code. Meteor provides Minimongo package which is client side version of MongoDB. It helps to store needed information on client side.

Blaze Front-end framework

Blaze is meteor’s default reactive rendering library. But blaze must not required to build application you can simply use angular or react to develop your UI. Blaze.js templates are written in space-bars and templates are complied into JavaScript ui components that are rendered by blaze library.

Live reload

Live reload is another coolest feature in meteor. Once you done the changes on front-end it will automatically reloaded on the live. Live reloading allows to reload only the required DOM rather than reloading the entire web page.

As a beginner of the meteor.js i have had these coolest features in meteor. not only these, there are more features available in meteor so try it yourself and have those features.

How to start work with Meteor ?

Meteor is full stack JavaScript platform it helps to build modern web and mobile applications. Meteor has good features compared with other JavaScript frameworks full-stack development, platform independent, Mongodb integration, live reload are some of those features.  so let start to create a small project using meteor.js

first of all go to the directory where you want to create the project and open the terminal. here i'm going to explain to create sample project called "resolutions". follow the below commands on terminal.
meteor create resolutions - this command will create project
and go to the project directory by using the "cd" command.

This is basic file structure of a meteor project. meteor ensures that any files any directory named client / will be available on the client and same wise server.  client/main.js and server/main.js helps in order to define entry points for both client and server.

to run this project type the command meteor 
usually meteor projects run on port 3000.
meteor run --port (port_number) by thorugh this command you can change the port.

you can see this page once you run the project. so this the way create and run a meteor project. so hope you all understood the very basic step of creating a project meteor.

How to create Laravel project ? 

In this article i'm going to describe about how to create laravel project in windows. first of all you need to have Apache-MySQL-PHP package.(Wamp or Xampp). if don't have any of these. go to the following and install it.

https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html - To Install Xampp

http://www.wampserver.com/en/download-wampserver-32bits/ - To Install Wamp Server

once you installed or if already installed. then open command prompt and just type php --version. if it returns nothing then go to (If you have installed Xampp) Xampp folder and go to Php folder, inside your php folder you find a file named as "Php.exe" so just copy the path and go to control panel ==> System and Security ==> Advanced system setting ==> Environment variables. in environment variables click path and edit path by adding  php.exe path.

same wise go mysql folder in Xampp folder add the folder path. just like the before step.

After that go to php folder and open the php.ini file make sure that "extension=php_openssl.dll" this line is not commented. same wise go to the apache folder open conf folder and open the httpd.conf file and make sure that ''LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" this line is not commented.

that's all you to have to do first. now you can check your php,mysql version in command prompt.

next go to this link https://getcomposer.org/download/ and install the composer. to install this just follow the commands described in the link. if you install this in your xampp directory it would be better. once you installed it. you can find a file named as "composer.phar" in your xampp directory. just named it file as "composer" for convenience.

now everything ready. go to xampp directory by command line and  just type the below command
composer create-project laravel/laravel htdocs/your-project-name * 

you can find a folder which you named for project in your htdocs folder.

turn on the xampp and go to browser and just type localhost/project folder/public and confirm it.

in my next article i will describe about the file structure of laravel. thank you. if you have any problem regarding the installation of the laravel please comment below.
