Reading files from a directory inside a meteor app

Question

How can i read the public directory in a meteor application inside my /server path.

On the server you can use fs to access any part of the meteor directory tree, not just /public, for example

import fs from 'fs';
const rd = process.env.PWD;
const obj = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(`${rd}/private/file.json`));

would read and parse a json file located at private/file.json under your meteor app directory root.
