Demo of the difference in `this` in Meteor methods depending on whether the call was from client or server
Raw
methods.js
var calledFromServer;
Meteor.methods({
'getThis': function() {
return this;
},
'getThisServer': function() {
return calledFromServer;
}
});
calledFromServer = Meteor.call('getThis');

Could you break this into multiple pieces for me (e.g. a client file and a server file)? Having a hard time understanding what's being called where. Is calledFromServer = Meteor.call('getThis'); being called from the client? That may be a silly question considering the variable name 😀
