Trying to use Twilio with Meteor, ReferenceError: Twilio is not defined

bash_bob

To preface this, I'm very new to Meteor and have never used Twilio before, so I'm probably just making a silly mistake somewhere. I'm using the Twilio API bindings found here and trying to get a simple snippet of code working to send an SMS message within a Meteor.methods function. Here's the event trigger and method function: if (Meteor.isClient) { Template.twilioPlayground.events({ "click button": function() { Meteor.call("sendSMS"); } }); }...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

You defined your method on both client and server. But the Twilio symbol is not even exposed on the client (because it is something client doesn't need to know about). Hence you get this error. Put your sendSMS method definition into Meteor.isServer block and it should work fine.
