Importing my methods so that AutoForm can see them

I don't understand how to import my methods so that AutoForm can see them. Based on the 1.3 best practices, all inserts/updates/deletes should be blocked on the client, and we should use methods instead. These should be imported on a page-by-page basis on the client.

I tried removing the quotes around the meteormethod attribute, and importing the Method in the template's JS file, but this returns an error method.js:11 Uncaught Error: When form type is "method", you must also provide a "meteormethod" attribute.

What's the best practice for this? How do I tell AutoForm where to find my method?

I solved my own problem. Don't import anything, just reference the internal Meteor method name in AutoForm's meteormethod attribute.

For example (if you're using ValidatedMethod):

export const insertProject = new ValidatedMethod({
  name: 'projects.insert',
  validate: Projects.schema.validator(),
  run(fields) {
    Projects.insert(fields);
  }
});

You'd then use:

{{> quickForm collection=projects id="insertProjectForm" type="method" meteormethod="projects.insert"}}

(note the meteormethod attribute is the same as the name attribute of the ValidatedMethod)
