how to properly use meteor's ironRouter waitOn? - meteor

Question

I have abround 6000 documents in my mongo collection, which I need to load up into meteor client upon app startup.
In my routes (located under app/client), I have this:
Router.map(function() {
this.route('home', {
path: '/',
template: 'dashboardWrapper',
waitOn: function() {
return Meteor.subscribe('nasdaq');
},
cache: true
});
});
My dashboardWrapper template looks like this:
<template name="dashboardWrapper">
{{#if Template.subscriptionsReady}}
{{> dashboard}}
{{/if}}
</template>
My dashboard template looks like this:
<template name="dashboard">
<div class="container">
<h2>Priority - 1 Incidents Over Time</h2>
<div class="row">
<div id="yearly-bubble-chart" class="dc-chart">
<strong>Yearly Performance</strong> (radius: fluctuation/index ratio, color: gain/loss)
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div id="gain-loss-chart">
<strong>Days by Gain/Loss</strong>
<a class="reset" href="javascript:gainOrLossChart.filterAll();dc.redrawAll();" style="display: none;">reset</a>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
<div id="quarter-chart">
<strong>Quarters</strong>
<a class="reset" href="javascript:quarterChart.filterAll();dc.redrawAll();" style="display: none;">reset</a>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
<div id="day-of-week-chart">
<strong>Day of Week</strong>
<a class="reset" href="javascript:dayOfWeekChart.filterAll();dc.redrawAll();" style="display: none;">reset</a>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
<div id="fluctuation-chart">
<strong>Days by Fluctuation(%)</strong>
<span class="reset" style="display: none;">range: <span class="filter"></span></span>
<a class="reset" href="javascript:fluctuationChart.filterAll();dc.redrawAll();" style="display: none;">reset</a>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div id="monthly-move-chart">
<strong>Monthly Index Abs Move & Volume/500,000 Chart</strong>
<span class="reset" style="display: none;">range: <span class="filter"></span></span>
<a class="reset" href="javascript:moveChart.filterAll();volumeChart.filterAll();dc.redrawAll();"
style="display: none;">reset</a>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div id="monthly-volume-chart">
</div>
<p class="muted pull-right" style="margin-right: 15px;">select a time range to zoom in</p>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div>
<div class="dc-data-count">
<span class="filter-count"></span> selected out of <span class="total-count"></span> records | Reset All
</div>
</div>
<table class="table table-hover dc-data-table">
</table>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
</template>
The relevant part of Meteor.client looks like this:
if (Meteor.isClient) {
var ndx,data;
Template.dashboardWrapper.onCreated( function() {
var template = this;
template.subscribe("nasdaq");
});
Template.dashboard.onCreated( function() {
data = Nasdaq.find().fetch();
ndx = crossfilter(data);
});
Template.dashboard.onRendered(function(){
var self = this;
self.subscribe("nasdaq", function() {
self.autorun(function() {
data = Nasdaq.find().fetch();
});
});
What I expect from this, is for the dashboard template to wait until all the data from the Nasdaq collection loads up.
What happens is absolutely nothing - no data and no errors.
If I remove ironRounter all together, and refresh, I can get a couple of dozen records (out of 6000 total).
Is there a way reliably force the app to wait until every single document loads up?

Answer 1

Try subscribe right before load the current template, may be it will work.
Router.route('/dashboardWrapper/:_id', {
name: 'dashboardWrapper',
waitOn: function () {
return [
Meteor.subscribe('nasdaq')
];
},
data: function () {
return Nasdaq.findOne(this.params._id);
}
});
