Hello! couldn’t manage to get working SSR with the available documentation, any examples appreciate it.

Currently I’m not able to make SSR render on the server.

client\main.js
import { Meteor } from ‘meteor/meteor’;
import { Template } from ‘meteor/templating’;
import { ReactiveVar } from ‘meteor/reactive-var’;
import {SSR} from ‘meteor/meteorhacks:ssr’;
import ‘./main.html’;
if (Meteor.isServer) {
SSR.compileTemplate(‘body’, Assets.getText(‘main.html’));
}else{
console.log(‘client’,Template);
console.log(‘client’,Template.body);
}

Template.body.helpers({
    getConfirmationURL: function() {
        return this.url;
    }
});
//SSR.compileTemplate('body', Assets.getText('main.html'));

server/main.js

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import {SSR , Template } from 'meteor/meteorhacks:ssr';

Meteor.startup(() => {
  // code to run on server at startup
});
Meteor.methods({
});
var html = SSR.render("body", {username: "arunoda"});

Thank you in advance.

To be able to run method both from client and server:

sendEmail.call({to, from, subject, doc}, function (error) {
  if (error) {
    console.error('sendEmail error:', error.message);
    return false;
  }
});

I have this code structure:

/server/main.js:

import '/imports/startup/server';
import '/imports/startup/both';

/client/main.js:

import '/imports/startup/client';
import '/imports/startup/both';

/imports/startup/both/index.js:

import '/imports/api/email_methods';

/imports/api/email_methods.js:

import { ValidatedMethod } from 'meteor/mdg:validated-method';
import { SimpleSchema } from 'meteor/aldeed:simple-schema';
import { Email } from 'meteor/email';
import { SSR, Template } from 'meteor/meteorhacks:ssr';
...

export const sendEmail = new ValidatedMethod({
  name: 'sendEmail',
  validate: new SimpleSchema({
    to: {type: String, regEx: SimpleSchema.RegEx.Email},
    from: {type: String, regEx: SimpleSchema.RegEx.Email},
    subject: {type: String},
    doc: {type: Object, blackbox: true}
  }).validator(),
  run({to, from, subject, doc}) {
    if (Meteor.isServer) {
      SSR.compileTemplate('htmlEmail', Assets.getText('templates/email.html'));

      Template.htmlEmail.helpers({
        numeral(num) {
          if (num) { return numeral(num).format(); }
        }
      });

      Email.send({to, from, subject, html: SSR.render('htmlEmail', doc)});
    }
  }
});
