Handling multiple components?

This package is great, but I'm curious how you recommend handling multiple components across multiple files? Meteor's automatic build system seems to prohibit the typical "require" and "exports" workflow. The only other suggestion I've seen is creating all components globally.

That's how Meteor works now. It loads all files in alphabetic order, and loads all of them globally. So it's impossible to modularize the project and load JS files on demand (like AMD/UMD/CommonJS/ES6 module etc). There is a discussion and requirement for changing that behaviour on Meteor Roadmap: New way of defining packages/apps and controlling file load order.

I think, the best way would be to replace current Meteor automatic build system with jspm. And thanks to jspm plugins system, the original Meteor behaviour could be added as a default jspm plugin.

Thanks for the info! I did end up having to create a sub-build system to concat my files and then let Meteor handle the result of that.
