Best boilerplate for Meteor project?

Question

Just started using meteor and built the first app using the to-do app tutorial.

Now I plan to use meteor for a project with bootstrap, is there a standard boilerplate available for this which gives me a file structure to work with ?

My app has a small to medium level of sophistication.

Answer 1

You could use Yeoman, a web scaffolding tool, to generate your Meteor projects.

1. Run npm install -g yo to install Yeoman.
2. Run npm install -g generator-meteor to install the Meteor generator.
3. Run mkdir new-meteor-project && cd $_ to create a new project directory.
4. Finally, run the Yeoman Meteor generator: yo meteor.

This generator is able to include Iron Router and Bootstrap:

$ yo meteor

     _-----_
    |       |    .--------------------------.
    |--(o)--|    |    Welcome to Yeoman,    |
   `---------´   |   ladies and gentlemen!  |
    ( _´U`_ )    '--------------------------'
    /___A___\    
     |  ~  |     
   __'.___.'__   
 ´   `  |° ´ Y ` 

? Shall we include Iron Router? Yes
