Question

When I place the Mousetrap javascript file (http://craig.is/killing/mice) in my Meteor app’s main directory, I get the following error:

Your app is crashing. Here's the latest log.

app/mousetrap.js:711
    _addEvent(document, 'keypress', _handleKey);
              ^

Your application is crashing. Waiting for file change.

The error goes away when the Mousetrap file is placed in a client/ subdirectory. Why?

Answer 1

because server side doesn’t have dom.
if u put it in root, it has been loaded in both server and client side.

lib like sugarjs, momentjs can work both side.
