How to create a class in a js file in a meteor-based website?

Question

Why does this code does not work?

function Apple (type) {
    this.type = type;
    this.color = "red";
    this.getInfo = getAppleInfo;
}

If I try to call Apple, I get the error message

Uncaught ReferenceError: Apple is not defined(…)

(anonymous function) @ VM1844:2

InjectedScript._evaluateOn @ VM1757:875

InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrap @ VM1757:808

InjectedScript.evaluate @ VM1757:664

Whe need to know more code for check scopes... where is declaration and where the invocation or call — Joaquin Javi, Oct 23 '15 at 18:09
What do you mean by declaration? It is in a `file.js` file. I know that the code there is executed (I can log). The invocation is from the debugger. If I do `console.log(Apple);` in the js file, it works. — Colas, Oct 23 '15 at 18:16
It seems the code of `file1.js` is executed but not "seen" by `file2.js`. — Colas, Oct 23 '15 at 18:21
I mean in meteor there are some conventions and client server and both scopes, also theres a rule that the first file is called is main.js anyway print this inside de block where you are executing and you will know in wich scope you are , after you can play with bind method to chain.. — Joaquin Javi, Oct 23 '15 at 18:24
Your edit is a typo, your first issue is likely a scope issue. — Kyll, Oct 23 '15 at 18:29
Also check this http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/structuringyourapp , so meteor have startups methods.. scope conventions ..etc.. — Joaquin Javi, Oct 23 '15 at 18:35
@JoaquinJavi Thanks for your help!! Do you understand why the code does not work (in More code)? — Colas, Oct 23 '15 at 18:36

If you want something global in Meteor, don't prefix with var.

So, this should work!

Apple = function (type) {
    this.type = type;
    this.color = "red";
    this.getInfo = getAppleInfo;
}
