Meteor 1.8.2 releases

copleykj · September 19, 2019, 4:58pm

1.8.2-rc.0 is hot off the release press this morning… @benjamn is looking for contributions for updating @types/meteor if anyone has vast TypeScript knowledge and some spare time.

Comment by benjamn to Implement an official TypeScript compiler plugin.

meteor:release-1.8.2 ← meteor:core-typescript-plugin

With the release of Meteor 1.8.2-rc.0 this morning, there's now a TypeScript ske…leton app that you can create with the following command: ```sh meteor create --release 1.8.2-rc.0 --typescript new-typescript-app ``` It's based on the `meteor create --react` app (so it uses React), and it includes a recommended `tsconfig.json` file. I'm pretty happy with the absence of TypeScript errors and warnings in this project, though that depends partly on the use of [`@types/meteor`](http://npmjs.org/package/@types/meteor), which seems to be somewhat out of date. Hopefully the use of `@types/meteor` in this official TypeScript skeleton app will provide some encouragement for contributors to that project to continue the great work they've done so far. One of the reasons I think the `tsconfig.json` file is important is that it demonstrates adding a `"paths": { "/*": ["*"] }` rule to support the `import ... from "/imports/some/module"` style. This wasn't always possible, because the TypeScript team dragged their feet on allowing "absolute" (leading `/`) `paths` entries, but it seems to work in `typescript@3.6.3`. In other words, I don't think we should be pretending that `imports/some/module` (nonstandard, unsupported) is synonymous with `/imports/some/module` (working since Meteor 1.3). Using a leading `/` is the way to go.

Just as Meteor developers can run ```sh meteor create --react my-react-app me…teor create --minimal my-minimal-app meteor create --bare my-bare-app meteor create --full my-full-app ``` they can now run ```sh meteor create --typescript my-typescript-app ``` to produce a new TypeScript application, based on the `--react` application, configured using a recommended `tsconfig.json` file. This app represents the current best/simplest-known way to set up a Meteor-compatible TypeScript application, but it is still very much a work in progress. Please feel free to submit pull requests to improve it, or create issues to discuss how it should work. For example, the community-maintained [`@types/meteor` package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/meteor) covers all the core packages used by this starter application, but it has not been updated in a while, so there will no doubt be `meteor/*` packages with missing types. In future versions, Meteor should ideally generate the appropriate `.d.ts` files from TypeScript package source code, so that no separate `@types/meteor/*` declarations need to be maintained.

In other news the 1.9 branch with Node 12 has entered beta stages.

Congratulation!, Please share any documents how to use Meteor + Typescript?
And I would like to try Meteor, Typescript + Vue!

lednhatkhanh · October 18, 2019, 9:55am

Great news, congratulation, can’t wait for trying Meteor, Typescript and React

storyteller · November 13, 2019, 12:28am

@benjamn Just released rc.10 and it looks like it will be the last rc candidate:

copleykj · November 13, 2019, 2:38am

Thanks for the update!

storyteller · November 15, 2019, 12:29am

And now 1.8.2 is released! MCP newsletter coming out any moment!

theara · November 15, 2019, 9:12am

Have any example Meteor + Typescript + Vue?

paulishca · November 15, 2019, 9:48am

Just an observation, didn’t know where to add this since it is not really an issue. The zipped bundle of my code in 1.8.2 is 10MB larger than 1.8.1.

arggh · November 15, 2019, 10:22am

I hope this is the server bundle you are talking about

paulishca · November 15, 2019, 10:26am

That’s the one :))))

rjdavid · November 15, 2019, 10:44am

That is 10x my client bundle that we are working so hard to keep small than 1mb

paulishca · November 15, 2019, 10:47am

My client bundle is so small that browsers don’t even pick on it. I see a blank page It looks like we did a great job there…

(picking up from some facepalming after I had forgotten to actually execute metor update --release 1.8.2)

I tried the new Typescript support, but it doesn’t feel quite ready. I got a module loading error for the “mem” package (no idea on how to resolve) but the killer for me is that even when I introduce type errors in the code, the command line compiler (meteor run) doesn’t show these. Maybe I forgot to pass a flag or something.

filipenevola · November 15, 2019, 12:01pm

Hi guys, please try 1.8.2 out and provide feedbacks in the PR then we can recommend it to everybody early next week.

theara · November 18, 2019, 3:07am

I can’t update meteor update on global in my PC.
It still show The latest version of Meteor, 1.8.1, is already installed on this computer

qualitymanifest · November 18, 2019, 4:30am

Had the same issue as @theara, but I was able to update by specifying meteor update --release 1.8.2

theara · November 18, 2019, 7:03am

But could update on meteor project.

theara · November 18, 2019, 7:32am

Have any guide to use such as:

import { Mongo } from 'meteor/mongo';

export interface Link {
  _id?: string;
  title: string;
  url: string;
  createdAt: Date;
}

export const Links = new Mongo.Collection<Link>('links');

filipenevola · November 18, 2019, 3:22pm

Hello, this is not an issue, Meteor has a system to recommend automatically or not a release, 1.8.2 is already published but not recommended automatically yet, we are probably changed to recommended in the next days.
