Mobile Packages

Overview

Meteor has introduced a set of mobile packages that seamlessly function on both mobile and desktop platforms, broadening the scope of development for Meteor applications. These packages are compatible with Meteor version 0.9.2 and above, and they come with examples that clearly showcase their capabilities. Whether you're looking to integrate camera functionality or track the user's location, this suite of packages provides a robust foundation for any app developer.

The simplicity and utility of these packages make them an attractive choice for developers. With just a few lines of code, you can enrich the user experience significantly, leaving more time for creative development rather than worrying about complicated implementations.

Features

• Camera Package (mdg:camera): This package allows users to take photos from both desktop and mobile interfaces with a single function call, streamlining the integration process.

• Geolocation Package (mdg:geolocation): Offers a reactive interface to access the device's GPS location, making it easy to implement location-based features in your apps.

• Reload-on-Resume Package (mdg:reload-on-resume): Improves user experience by delaying hot code pushes on mobile devices until the app is closed and reopened, preventing interruptions during use.

• Simple Photo App: An example app that showcases the Camera package by allowing users to take a photo with just one button and display it on the screen, serving as a practical demonstration of its functionality.

• Simple Map App: Utilizes the Google Maps Static Maps API to illustrate how to show a map with a marker at the user's current location, highlighting the ease of integrating the Geolocation package.

• SoLoMo App: An initial demonstration of Meteor Cordova's functionality which incorporates the Camera, Geolocation, and reload-on-resume packages, along with local packages for a comprehensive user experience.
