    In Meteor the client calls functions on the server using methods. These methods are similar to RPC (Remote Procedure Calls) and are a way to secure your applications by having the server validate the data sent. Here’s how the basic syntax of a method looks like:

    Meteor.methods({
      'myMethod': function () {
        // do stuff
      }
    });
    

    And here’s how you call the method on the client:

    Meteor.call("myMethod");
