Overview
The dart_meteor package enables seamless integration between a Flutter app and a Meteor backend. It simplifies real-time data synchronization by leveraging StreamBuilder and FutureBuilder, making it easy to handle live updates and asynchronous operations. Designed for developers using Meteor as their backend, the library abstracts complex networking logic, allowing smooth communication with Meteor's DDP (Distributed Data Protocol). It supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring cross-platform consistency. The package is ideal for building reactive, real-time applications with minimal boilerplate.
