Maintaining same code between multiple projects

Sharing code between multiple apps with shared database

I just watched this video about creating two separate apps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYIK_ClHLZo Another time you might do it is with a Mobile and Web app. My question is how can you share code between the two projects? (schemas for example) Would symlinks work for this?

Share private meteor packages with mgp

While we strongly advocate open sourcing packages – we still needed to share a few private meteor packages across projects. So we built a small node package to do that called mgp. You can define your packages similarly to meteorite’s smart.json. Then if you run mgp it will clone the packages into your packages folder. mgp link will symlink local development folders. We hope it’s helpful for someone and we would love any feedback.

Monolith vs. Multiple apps, an architecture question

I’ve done both the big monolith on one project and then another project with several smaller apps based on common packages. The smaller apps based on a set of shared code in packages is the way to go in my opinion, for exactly the reasons you’ve stated. And if, for instance, you want to bust out a mobile app at some stage, half the code base is already written. This was the best advice I got about how to set up a repo for the whole project with shared packages.
