Meteor run standalone command, library sharing

but these methods should be part of a library that i’d like to be able to use with other node applications

That’s exactly what I aim to solve with rocket:module! Here’s more info in this post.

The basic idea would that you write your library in a normal node type way (f.e. using CommonJS modules) then rocket:module will let you import it from npm into your Meteor project. This is good because then you can do

var something_else = require('other_lib');

instead of

var something_else = Meteor.npmRequire('other_lib');

in your library code, so it’s more portable, and not limited to the Meteor ecosystem.
