meteor one time initialization code on client side

Related: Where to include Client-side Startup Code in Meteor React App

Similar issue here.

I want to do some imports from the server and also some initalization once on the client (the sooner the better).

Right now i have my code included in a template:

import { foo } from "../../imports/api/foo/foo.js";

Template.header.events({
    //init foo - should be called once and moved elsewehre
    ... 
    //use foo
});

But yeah ofc it's stupid because everytime the event is triggered the code gets called again.

On serverside i just used Meteor.startup for these things.

My Folder structure looks like this:

/config /models /packages /client/components //current code is here /client/config /client/lib /imports/api /imports/ui /server/lib /server/publications

i heard that in previous meteor versions there were some folders for isomorphic code like a /lib folder but it seems like in meteor (1.3.5) the server and client code is split.

So where is a good place to do some initializations on the client side?

Actually, it doesn't matter where do you place your startup code as long as you're calling it from your client/main.js.

I'd recommend to follow Meteor's guide and proposed folder structure: Example directory layout, Structuring imports and Startup files
