How to use Mongoose in Meteor?
I've decided to just use the Collection2 package because it seems to offer everything that I wanted from Mongoose as an ORM. This packages uses the Simple Schema as a dependency.
Meteor already talks to mongodb. But you can use mongoose. You might have an issue with a 10 second delay with reactivity. Also you won't be able to enjoy using it on the client.
Meteor already has methods to query/update,etc mongodb. But if want you could force mongoose in:
Install mongoose (npm install mongoose). And use it in your meteor code:
require = __meteor_bootstrap__.require; //to use npm require must be exposed. var mongoose = require('mongoose');
