I\'m new to Meteor and I\'m trying to understand how to serve static content - images, JS, etc.. I\'ve followed the docs by creating the correct folder structure (which it doesn
The setup you have described sounds correct to me. Media in public/
are served like
http://localhost:3000/myphoto.jpg
The todos example serves images from the public directory. Just back out of whatever project you're in and run: meteor create --example todos
then cd into todos/ and run meteor
. Then open:
http://localhost:3000/destroy.png
The image you will see lives in public/
.
That same thing happened when I moved the project files in a folder and forget to move the directory .meteor.

Use ./public
directory for serving static assets.
Given the following directory structure:
- server
- client
- public
- css
- bootstrap.css
- images
- js
You could serve the static assets by dropping 'public' from linked documents.
<link href='/css/bootstrap.css'>
More info here: Official Meteor Docs #FileStructure
Files in /public are served to the client as-is. Use this to store assets such as images. For example, if you have an image located at /public/background.png, you can include it in your HTML with or in your CSS with background-image: url(/background.png). Note that /public is not part of the image URL.
