Getting Web3 to work with Meteor Server?

robertdavid01

Have put quite a bit of time into figuring out why it seems like a lot of questions on Stack Overflow and elsewhere that are open on this issue.

Currently here is my SO Q for collating and tracking these questions and this issue.

Essentially there seems to be some package conflict between a meteor and web3 dependency:

web3-empty-object-server-side-in-meteor

Also another existing thread on Meteor forums.

The resulting problem is the 'web3' object on the server is empty '{}'. This is a known effect of node package dependency conflict/recursion/loop.

To update I did add an answer to my Stackoverflow question above, and developed a simple work around. Not tested extensively but did allow me Meteor to fully import the web3 package server both in new and existing Meteor projects.
