Validated Method

Overview:

The mdg:validated-method package is a simple wrapper for Meteor.methods that allows for defining Meteor methods in a structured way with mixins. This package aimed to eliminate the best-practices boilerplate around methods. With the capability to use the package in both Meteor 1.2 and 1.3, it brings convenience and efficiency to method definition in Meteor applications.

Features:

• Object Representation: Represent your method using an object and reference it through JavaScript scope rather than a string name.
• Built-in Validation: Utilize built-in validation of arguments through aldeed:simple-schema or create custom argument validation.
• Testing Convenience: Easily call methods from tests or server-side code with the ability to pass in any user ID.
• Client-Side Error Handling: Prevent execution of server-side methods by throwing errors from client-side method simulation.
• Consistent ID Generation: Retrieve the stub's return value by default for consistent ID generation.
• Method Extensions: Extend methods using mixins for enhanced functionality.
• Code Samples: Access extensive code samples in the Todos example app for reference.

Summary:

The mdg:validated-method package simplifies the process of defining Meteor methods by providing a structured way with the use of mixins. It offers features such as built-in validation, testing convenience, client-side error handling, and method extensions. By abstracting away best-practices boilerplate, this package enhances the efficiency and organization of method definition in Meteor applications.
