How to add more information to first html page sent by meteor server

Is there anyway we can add data like in php echo "something" in the first html page. I want to know the server's timestamp to format a document created time like 2 hours ago, the document already has a property createdTime. When I use Meteor.Collection.find, I cannot add the server time by using transform.

I can use Meteor.method but I may have to format time before the result arrives.

Thank you.

the __meteor_runtime_config__ approach is run-once; that is, only changes made at package load time (not Meteor.startup()) are taken into account, and then the __meteor_runtime_config__ snippet is frozen.

To pass run-time (per-page) metadata to the page, it looks like the only option is to set a custom tag on the <html> element using the (public, but undocumented) WebApp.addHtmlAttributeHook API.

Well, after digging around the code, here is the answer. You can use the global variable __meteor_runtime_config__ to add more information to the first downloaded html file. In my case, in a server side javascript file, I add __meteor_runtime_config__.now = new Date().getTime() and this value will be available on the client side
