meteorjs iron-router waitOn and using as data on rendered

Question

I try to get the returned data in my Template.rendered function.

The current code is:

this.route(\'editCat\', {
    layoutTemplate : \'l

Like @Sean said, the right solution is to use a loading template:

Router.onBeforeAction("loading");

But if you don't want it, like me, I came up with this solution:

Template.xxx.rendered = function() {
    var self = this;

    this.autorun(function(a) {
        var data = Template.currentData(self.view);
        if(!data) return;

        console.log("has data! do stuff...");
        console.dir(data);
        //...
    });
}

Template.currentData is reactive, so in the first time it is null and in the second it has your data.

Hope it helps.
