From Meteor's documentation:

In Meteor, your server code runs in a single thread per request, not in the asynchronous callback style typical of Node. We find the linear execution model a better fit for the typical server code in a Meteor application.

This guide serves as a mini-tour of tools, trix and patterns that can be used to run async code in Meteor.

Basic async

Sometimes we need to run async code in Meteor.methods. For this we create a Future to block until the async code has finished. This pattern can be seen all over Meteor's own codebase:

	Meteor.startup(function() {
	Template.fb_pic.pic = function() {// helper function to display the pic on the page
	var userProfile;
	userProfile = Meteor.user().profile;

	if(userProfile) { // logic to handle logged out state
	return userProfile.picture;
	}
	};
	});

	/* Imagine you want to develop a facebook canvas app.
	This snippet will do all the auth dance without requiring the user to click on login.
	But if the user is not logged in facebook, it will ask for the user to login.
	Tip: Open the browser console to see debug messages.
	Followed instructions of Facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/login/getting-started/
	It's is possible to improve this code with more error handling.

	var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);

	//service style, probably the simplest one
	myApp.service('helloWorldFromService', function() {
	this.sayHello = function() {
	return "Hello, World!"
