iron-router

Edit: The solution I used is @Kyll's one. Suppose the server side objects I'd like to return are "complicated" to build and need different attributes from different collections. I first tried: /server/publications.js Meteor.publish('myCustomDocument', function(){ // suppose here that I need to X.find() different collections // and create a complex Array of JSON data (which contains different // attributes from different Collections return [ {appName: 'aName', category: 'catName', anotherField: 'something'}, (...) ]; }); It doesn't work because it's not returning a cursor. What I want to do is

How can check, on server side route, if user is logged? I would add check on 'before', but Metor.user() don't work here. thanks in advance. p.s. I have found How to get Meteor.user() to return on the server side? , but not work on iron-router I'm afraid that this is not possible. I guess that the problem comes from the fact that you're trying to connect to the server with two different protocols - both literally and in logically - so there is no obvious way to relate this two actions. There is, however, a pretty simple solution that may suit your needs. You'll need to develop a simple system

I have one general {{>yield}} for iron-router in a layout file which renders my pages, which are templates. In one of my pages, I have a side menu and according to the selection in this menu, I want to load different templates related to this page in this page. How can I achieve this? I have done a similar thing using iron-router's layout template option. Say I want to create a home view with multiple views/templates inside of this home view that will change. First I would declare my route: Router.map(function () { this.route('home', { path: '/', template: 'myHomeTemplate', layoutTemplate:

I have a simple route with a parameter: this.route('article', { path: '/article/:_id', data: function() { return Articles.findOne(this.params._id); } }); I would like to have use the pathFor handlebars helper here with the _id: {{#each articles}} <li><a href="{{pathFor 'article' _id}}">{{title}}</a></li> {{/each}} This doesnt work for passing the _id tag into the url though... <li><a href="{{pathFor 'article' _id=this._id }}">{{title}}</a></li> Thats how you pass a parameter In your example you don't need to pass any parameters. The pathFor helper will automatically use the current data

When I visit a route in my browser I expect Iron Router to call onBeforeAction once before loading the route. But it looks like it is being called 3 times when first loading the route. This is an issue for me because I want to put code that redirects the user if they do not have access to that document. onBeforeAction: -> console.log 'called once' #Called 3 times when first loading the route! thread = Research.findOne(@params._id) console.log thread # This is undefined at first run thread = Research.findOne(@params._id) if thread? Meteor.subscribe 'collabUsers', @params._id else Router.go '

Rather than having five different routes, I am trying to combined five different paths into a single function, but I still need to know which path it matched. So if I set up my route using a regex: Router.route(/^\/(accounts)|(contacts)|(forecasts)|(analytics)|(activities)/, function() { // which one did it match? console.log("matched "+this.params) //this returns an array of five params } how do I refer to the matched parameter inside the function? this.params returns an array of five params with four of them undefined and the other matching, but which one is defined depends on what matched
