Create a serverside file in Meteor

I was wondering how to write files in Meteor to the server. I was looking at this NodeJS code, but it wasn't working when I tried it in the server javascript code. 

    var fs = require('fs');
    fs.writeFile("/client/test", "Hey there!", function(err) {
    if(err)
        console.log(err);
    else
        console.log("The file was saved!");
    });

It was saying that require wasn't defined. Anyways, does anybody know how to write files to the server in Meteor?

You need to use Npm.require instead of just require. 

var fs = Npm.require('fs');

This will work for any module that is part of node or meteor (such as fs so its not a problem here). However, for other npm modules you would have to use Meteor NPM or write your own smart package
