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:

13:25 deberg: [17:21:57] hey, i just saw your question.
13:25 eiki: [17:22:17] great - any ideas?
13:25 deberg: [17:22:19] the thing to use is futures.
13:25 eiki: [17:22:36] what's the difference?
13:25 eiki: [17:22:45] and do you know of any sample code?
13:25 deberg: [17:23:02] yeah, one place to look is the meteor HTTP package.
13:25 deberg: [17:23:11] packages/http/httpcall_server.js:64
13:25 deberg: [17:23:39] this is the basic pattern for wrapping a node callback.
13:25 eiki: [17:24:09] https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/master/packages/http/httpcall_server.js#L65
13:25 deberg: [17:24:35] you want to declare a new future, call future.return() inside the callback, and block the outer caller (your method) with future.wait().
