How to check for Route through route name in template with Meteor and Iron Router

Question

What can I use in a template to figure out the route name that is associated with the route that I am currently on?

For example if I configured a route

Answer 1

You can define any options you want in your route config :

Router.route('/', {
    name : 'home',
    template : 'home',
    title: 'Home'
});

and then access to title with this :

Router.current().route.options.title

This will output "Home"

Answer 2

iron-router > 1.0

var routeName = Router.current().route.getName();

iron-router < 1.0

var routeName = Router.current().route.name;

Answer 3

For the newer iron router, use:

var routeName = Router.current().route.getName()

This will output the name of the actual route you defined with this.route()

Answer 4

You can try Router.current().template
