This is work in progress on integrating Meteor.js, the best full-stack JavaScript framework (see why) and Webix, arguably the best UI widgets library (see an extensive comparison on StackOverflow).
Stay tuned by clicking Watch/Star on GitHub.
- CRUD example • source • Meteor DevShop talk
- Examples from the Webix team: Meteor-centrix example, Webix-centric example
Get started by adding the webix:webix package and a skin. For example, to add the default skin:
meteor add webix:webix
meteor add webix:skin-flat
If you use Font Awesome icons, or have sortable tables or other UI components that need Font Awesome icons, install Font Awesome as well:
meteor add fortawesome:fontawesome
Use Meteor collections as usual and simply specify webix.proxy('meteor', Collection|Cursor) for the
url and save properties of the component:
Movies = new Mongo.Collection('movies');
webix.ui({
view: 'datatable',
autoconfig: true,
editable: true,
url: webix.proxy('meteor', Movies.find()),
save: webix.proxy('meteor', Movies)

- Getting started with Webix - documentation
- webix-meteor-data README - the Meteor - Webix adapter
- webix on GitHub
- package tests (font loading via skins, visual check)
- load and save data to/from reactive DataTable, List, and other widgets backed by linear data structures
- paging
- dynamic data loading
- hierarchical widgets (Tree, TreeTable)
- clean up and merge the disparate Webix repos
- map nested objects onto Webix forms (#10)
- client-side error messages on failed server operations via Collection.deny
- review
- Webix wrapper for Meteor/Blaze reactive templates
- routing
- persist order of List/DataTable elements reordered via drag-and-drop (similar to rubaxa:sortable)
- reactive Multiview, similar to templates:tabs
