Thanks, glad to hear it's useful!

I don't think this package will work on the server, since Deps is only
defined client-side.

What I'd recommend to get the server to do something when a user logs in
would be to have the client call a server-side method like so:

// client
EventHorizon.on('loggedIn',function(){ Meteor.call('onLogin'); });

// server
Meteor.methods({
  onLogin: function() {
    console.log('user logged in: '+this.userId);
  }
});

Would that work?

Wonderful package @belisarius222 https://github.com/belisarius222!! I
particularly find good use with the loggedIn event. I had to previously
write an adequately long check.

Is it possible to have this loggedIn/loggedOut event on the server?

I'm using that at the moment, the trouble is the logout method. I can't use accounts-ui without modifying it because I have to employ a callback from Meteor.call to logout on the client. If I Meteor.call after logging out meteor won't be able to tell which user it was

Hmm, you could maybe store the userId in a variable while logged in, like
Meteor.previousUserId or something, and then when you get a loggedOut event
on the client, run Meteor.call('onLogout',Meteor.previousUserId);

Not sure about the security implications of that approach.

Ah I see now. That is how I am making the call to the server. I wonder if it's possible to make EventHorizon work on server side as well?

It would be nice to have some sort of interface between the two that is hidden to the developer's eyes. But I guess this is not necessary as Meteor.call() is essentially same. The beauty of this would be you wouldn't have to have to expose all the Meteor.methods.

client.js
EventHorizon.fire{'loggedin'}

server/events.js
EventHorizon.on{'loggedIn', handleUser};

@belisarius222 this is tricky because I would be able to trick the onLogOut method on the server with a random userId & not be able to verify its legitimate so it poses a bit of a security risk. I have meteor connecting to facebook's xmpp servers & I want to be able to tell them to log out, for now I'm using a callback & waiting to disconnect first.
