How do I use jQuery UI in meteor?

I have actually added a jquery-ui meteorite package that you can install

mrt add jquery-ui

Note this package is version 1.8.16 and is a dependency of the jquery-ui-bootstrap package which, if installed, will automatically include the jquery-ui and bootstrap-updated smart packages. (All of which make bootstrap and jquery-ui play nicely together).

To install everything, you can use: mrt add jquery-ui-bootstrap

You need to put jquery UI in the client directory otherwise it is loaded by Meteor on both client and server and crash your app.

I've created an alternative jquery-ui package for Meteor that also includes images:

Use mrt add jqueryui (note there's no dash) to install it. I know, this Meteor package proliferation sucks, due to things not getting maintained. But it should all get better soon when Meteor releases its official packaging system.
