Meteor Timesync

Overview:

The meteor-timesync provides NTP-style time synchronization between server and client in Meteor applications, allowing for accurate timestamps to be used on the client. This package computes and maintains an offset between the server and client, providing facilities to use time reactively within the application. It includes functions for retrieving server time, server offset, round trip time, and syncing with the server.

Features:

• Time Synchronization: Maintains an offset between server and client for accurate time management.
• Reactive Time Usage: Allows server timestamps to be used reactively in Meteor applications.
• Real-Time Updates: Continually updates the server time reactive variable with a default interval of 1 second.
• Diagnostic Control: Option to enable or disable diagnostic syncing messages on the client.
• Non-Reactive Context: Provides Deps.nonreactive for non-reactive time computations.

Summary:

In summary, the meteor-timesync package in Meteor applications offers a reliable solution for maintaining accurate time synchronization between the server and client. With features like reactive time usage, real-time updates, and diagnostic control, developers can ensure precise time management in their applications. Additionally, the package provides a non-reactive context for efficient time computations when displaying multiple timestamps on a page.
