Also pack the database

[giovapanasiti]

Is there a way to also pack the database? When I distribute the app to other clients the app works but the database obviously don't.

Let's say I built a very simple todo why when I deliver the app they are not even able to create an account (the account should only be saved in the local database) the app is not supposed to require internet connection to work.

Is it possible somehow?

Hey, sorry for late answer. This by design a client only integration - so it produces a desktop client - just like meteor is building a mobile client for you. There is a plan to add embedding meteor server and mongo before 1.0 - currently planned for Q1 2017.

If you would like to help in that, I always warmly welcome any contributions.

@wojtkowiak do you think this issue falls within the scope of this project?

Meteor already supports local collections: https://guide.meteor.com/collections.html#local-collections

Also there is the GroundDB package: https://github.com/GroundMeteor/db

Yeah, it is not in the scope and was never planned but it seems there is a strong need to have an up to date Electrify alternative. Since it can be done as a plugin in meteor-desktop I will try to add that but it does not have the highest priority for me.

:+1: @wojtkowiak this would be a really great ability, even if you need a remote server connection it can still be beneficial to cache things in a local database and get the nice reactive UI updates when storing large amounts of local data
