The boilerplate looks like following:boilerplate.meteor.com. Have a look atstarthacking for a project created with this boilerplate.

npm install -g orion-cli

This will install theorion-cli tool, which can be used for scaffolding files with different profiles.You can still clone the repository, which doesn't give you the profile and scaffolding support.

# Assuming meteor is already installedorion create appNamecd appName&& meteor

With orion-cli you can scaffold files based on your configuration that you've got.

orion generate routes

You can create models, views, change profiles and reset the project with the console tool (see below).

There's already a lot of predefined code in this boilerplate, to show you the possible functionality. However, if you want to start off with anempty project use the provided command to get rid off all the code you don't need.

orion reset

• default (Plain Vanilla Javascript)
• coffee (coffeescript, Unfancy JavaScript)
• es6 (traceur, Traceur is a JavaScript.next-to-JavaScript-of-today compiler)

You can change your profile like that

orion set-profile

There will be a prompt, where you can entercoffee or any other profile that you have specified. Also use thereset command to start off with blank files according to your profile.

It is highly recommended to useMeteor Up for easy deployments.Have a look at the repository for more information.

Meteor cannot do SEO

This statement is only partially true, since there is a package calledms-seo, whichhas a lot of neat little tricks to help web crawlers notice your app the way you want them to. This boilerplate also adds constants underclient/lib/constants.js for the app. Change SEO settings inside the routes like that.

Router.route('/about',function(){this.render('about');// Using the app constantsSEO.set({title:'About -'+Meteor.App.NAME,og:{...}});});

Thebrowser-policy adds rules to deny all operations from external URLs.This helps dealing with clickjacking and other XSS methods used to attack the client. To whitelist a url, add following toserver/config/security.js

BrowserPolicy.content.allowOriginForAll(YOUR_URL);
