Meteor Timed variable resets

Question

I'm making a game with meteor and I want certain variables to reset at the end of everyday.. DO you know how I would go about doing that? Like at the end of everyday the amount of turns goes back to ten.

I recommend you to use momentjs package for this.

First run.

meteor add momentjs:moment

Now you can do the follow

var day = moment().endOf('day').fromNow(),
    day1 = moment().startOf('day').fromNow();
    console.log("the days ends in " + day)
    console.log("the days starts " + day1)
     if(day === "in 0 hours"){
        alert("The day is over")
        Session.set("dayOver",true)
      }

    if(day1 === "in 24 hours ago"){
        alert("The day is over")
        Session.set("dayOver",true)
     }

Here is the JSFiddle

NOTE: There should be another way, also this take the client time, never trust on the client time, if you want to take the safe time from the server try the mizzao/meteor-timesync package

Try it

meteor add mizzao:time sync

and you can do things like.

var serverTime = TimeSync.serverTime().

serverTime.format(). //for example
