Example
Install Iron Router
From the terminal:
meteor add iron:router
Basic configuration
Router.configure({
//Any template in your routes will render to the {{> yield}} you put inside your layout template
layoutTemplate: 'layout',
loadingTemplate: 'loading'
});
Render without data
//this is equal to home page
Router.route('/', function (){
this.render('home')
});
Router.route('/some-route', function () {
this.render('template-name');
});
Render with data and parameters
Router.route('/items/:_id', function () {
this.render('itemPage', {
data: function() {
return Items.findOne({_id: this.params._id})
}
});
});
Render to a secondary yield
Router.route('/one-route/route', function() {
//template 'oneTemplate' has {{> yield 'secondary'}} in HTML
this.render('oneTemplate');
//this yields to the secondary place
this.render('anotherTemplate', {
to: 'secondary'
});
//note that you can write a route for '/one-route'
//then another for '/one-route/route' which will function exactly like above.
});
Subscribe and wait for data before rendering template
Router.route('/waiting-first', {
waitOn: function() {
//subscribes to a publication
//shows loading template until subscription is ready
return Meteor.subscribe('somePublication')
},
action: function() {
//render like above examples
}
});
Subscribe to multiple publications and wait for data before rendering template
Router.route('/waiting-first', {
waitOn: function() {
//subscribes to a publication
//shows loading template until subscription is ready
return [Meteor.subscribe('somePublication1'),Meteor.subscribe('somePublication2')];
},
action: function() {
//render like above examples
}
});
