I know what the others are for but what are we supposed to put in the bin/ directory? #228

These days I'm making my first two apps using iron-cli and iron-router. I think your tools are awesome and should be integrated in Meteor. The organisation done by iron-cli is really smart, for example I like that there's both an isomorphic and a server-side methods.js

  1. Anyway... I know what the others are for but what are we supposed to put in the /bin directory?
  2. Also... I don't find where the class .main from /client/stylesheets/main.css is used; I'm just putting styles common to all templates in that file, including LAYOUTS. Seeing that there's no 'master_layout.css', this is what you intended right?
  3. Why didn't you add comments and the events from below in master_layout (like in home.js or the files created by the iron-cli generator)? Is it a bad coding practice if we use them there as well?
Template.MasterLayout.onCreated(function () {
});

Template.MasterLayout.onRendered(function () {
});

Template.MasterLayout.onDestroyed(function () {
});

@Laurentiu-Andronache the bin folder is a place to keep files related to your app, that you don't want to be included in the bundle when you deploy. you can really put anything there (i generally have .pem files and ssl certs, etc)

it's not necessarily bad practice to define helpers or events on the layouts, but usually there's a more appropriate place for them
