screen shot 2016-01-31 at 5 23 24 pm

In this tutorial, we’re going to build a Todo app using Meteor and React. We'll be taking a somewhat different approach from the official Meteor React tutorial and adding a few more bells and whistles along the way.

Prerequisites

  • Basic knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, and use of a command line terminal.
  • A laptop with a code editor of your choice. We’ll be using Sublime Text.
  • Be sure to install Meteor. We’ll be using Mac OSX. However, Meteor is available for Windows and Linux as well.

Getting Started

Each step in the tutorial has a corresponding branch in the github repo. I highly recommend that you create the app on your own, but if you should get stuck, you can always check out the branch from the previous step to get caught up.

Getting caught up using git branches.

  1. Clone the tutorial: git clone https://github.com/CodeChron/intro-to-meteor-react.git
  2. Cd into the tutorial project: cd intro-to-meteor-react
  3. Pull down all branches: git pull --all
  4. View available branches: git branch -a

Now, you should be all set to get caught up to a tutorial step if needed.
