I'm creating a web app that will edit some config files stored on a user's HD, and decided to give Meteor a shot.
I'd like to use Node.js's File System module to handle to I/O of the config files, but I haven't been able to figure out how to include the module. After some searching, I found the following code here on StackOverlow, which is supposed to allow me to require the module:
var require = __meteor_bootstrap__.require;
var fs = require('fs');
However, even with this placed inside of the if(server) portion of my code, my application is still throwing an error and telling me that 'fs' is undefined.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?

In order to use Node. js core or NPM modules, you first need to import it using require() function as shown below. var module = require('module_name'); As per above syntax, specify the module name in the require() function.
Meteor is based on Node. js, thus all Meteor projects are written in JavaScript for both client and server side; that means you don't have to know any other language than JavaScript.
js file system module helps us store, access, and manage data on our operating system. Commonly used features of the fs module include fs. readFile to read data from a file, fs. writeFile to write data to a file and replace the file if it already exists, fs.
From 0.6.0 you need to use Npm.require
var fs = Npm.require('fs');
