Notifications between server events

[razvangherghina]

I think it would be interesting to add the "emit - on" functionality even at server level. Probably there are other packages that are doing that, but it is interesting to chain notifications with the meteor-streams without the need to install other packages.

Example:

eventStream = new Meteor.Stream('eventstream');

if(Meteor.isServer) {
  sendEvent = function(message) {
    eventStream .emit('eventName', message);
       console.log('event just triggered from server: ' + message);
  };

  eventStream .on('eventName', function(message) {
    console.log('subscriber function triggered : ' + message);
  });
}

Yes. this is something that is on the roadmap, hopefully around next week :)

The idea is like this, we'll be having a new Stream Class(Meteor.ServerStream) which can talk between servers. It has following features

• Distributed EventEmitter
• Simple Job/Queue

In order this to be work, this need to be coupled with Meteor Cluster.

I'll post more info when its done. Anyway, you won't need to use any third party tools like redis for this.
