If you need a npm package that is not included in Meteor, you need to create a Meteor package that wraps it. Avital Oliver created a simple example for the [xml2js npm library](https://github.com/avital/meteor-xml2js-npm-demo).
>Note that you _cannot_ `Npm.require` such npm packages from _within your app_, you can only require them _within the Meteor package that depends on them_. This is due to different Meteor packages potentially depending on different versions of the same npm package.

There is another way you can use NPM modules with your app.

* first you need to install [npm](https://atmosphere.meteor.com/package/npm) smart package with - `mrt add npm`

* Meteor lets you exactly specify which data is published and to which client.
* Your application should take care which information is published to which users.
* Any client-provided information passed to a [publish function](http://docs.meteor.com/#publishandsubscribe) should be run through the `check` package.
* Inside a `Meteor.publish` function, use the server-provided `this.userId`, not a client-provided property to determine access.
* Inside a `Meteor.publish` function, use the server-provided `this.userId`, not a client-provided property to determine access.
* Take extra care with any publish function that deals with the `Meteor.users` Collection.
* Using the `browser-policy` [package](http://docs.meteor.com/#browserpolicy) helps prevent malicious JavaScript from being injected client-side, your site being iframed by a malicious site, etc.
* You should be using the most up-to-date version of Meteor possible, but minimally Meteor version 0.6.6.2 (0.6.6.2 was a Node.js security patch).

### What IDEs are best suited for meteor?

While many IDEs [support SASS](http://sass-lang.com/editors.html), [CoffeeScript](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4084167/ide-or-its-add-in-for-coffeescript-programming) etc., at the moment, there are no known IDEs that support meteor. Two efforts are underway:

* [Cloud9](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/214#issuecomment-8892697), the cloud-based IDE with Node.js support
* JetBrains [WebStorm](http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-13858) (Win/Mac/Linux), with existing support for Node.js. If you use Webstorm, make sure to [disable auto-save](http://devnet.jetbrains.net/message/5469319). Webstorm is proprietary software that offers a [gratis license](http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/buy/index.jsp) to people working on open source projects

Since version 9.0 (current version 10.0) JetBrains [WebStorm](https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/) (Win/Mac/Linux) provides integration with the Meteor framework: coding assistance, server and client side debugging support, introspection, and much more. [Using Meteor with WebStorm](https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/help/using-meteor.html) page is a great starting point and [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeqkGF3Z7rU) is a short video demo, as well. Meteor plugin is also available for the other JetBrains products: IntelliJ IDEA 14, PhpStorm 8, RubyMine 7 and PyCharm 4.

### `@importing` in less or sass files causes errors related to variables not found.

If you're using a collection of less files that need to be imported in a specific order because of variable dependencies (like a custom Twitter Bootstrap installation):
* for LESS: you can change the extension of the less files _to be imported_ from `.less` to `.import.less` and then change your `@import file.less` to `@import file.import.less`.
* for LESS: you can change the extension of the less files _to be imported_ from `.less` to `.import.less` and then change your `@import file.less` to `@import file.import.less`.
* for Sass: rename the files you're importing by adding a `_` before them. `file.scss` becomes `_file.scss`. And then change `@import 'file';` to `@import '_file';`.
This will prevent the less/sass compiler from automatically trying to compile all your import files independently, yet still let you use them in the order you want.
