Hi,

Electrify has been amazing so far.. Thanks. I have the below query/

As part of my a requirement, i use a Electron API to get a set of data that i need to re-actively display in the contained meteor app? Can this be done by inserting the data to some shared mongodb so that the meteor app can read from the collection.

if so an example would be helpful.

Thanks

I have worked out a way to achieve this

I was able to establish a DDP connection to call meteor server methods (which in turn can perform CRUD on mongodb) and have used port 11237 while initializing a DDP client. With this in place now we have bi-directional way that electron and Meteor can communicate with each other i.e to use DDP when Electron communicates with Meteor and use electrify methods when Meteor communicates with Electron API)
