Meteor Iron-router onBeforeAction this.next undefined - meteor

I've got the following route configuration: https://gist.github.com/chriswessels/76a64c421170095eb871
I'm getting the following error when attempting to load a route:
Exception in defer callback: TypeError: undefined is not a function

It's talking about the following line, which is in a onBeforeAction hook:
function manageLoadingIndicator (pause) {
if (this.ready()) {
Session.set('loading', false);
this.next(); // THIS LINE HERE
} else {
Session.set('loading', true);
pause();
}
}
Why is this.next undefined? Help please!

You are mixing up different versions of Iron router:
Prior to iron router 1.0, onBeforeAction would proceed to action unless pause (the first arg to onBeforeAction is invoked. There is no .next() method.
From 1.0 onwards this has been changed. pause() is no longer passed as an argument. This is where the .next() method replaces it.
You are evidently running on an old version of iron router, so therefore your hook should look like this:
function manageLoadingIndicator (pause) {
if (this.ready()) {
Session.set('loading', false);
} else {
Session.set('loading', true);
pause();
}
}
Once you upgrade iron router, you need to change it to this:
function manageLoadingIndicator () {
if (this.ready()) {
Session.set('loading', false);
this.next();
} else {
Session.set('loading', true);
}
}

Meteor User profile undefined error during iron router's logout

I'm using Meteor.user().profile in helper. When i do logout, i gets error profile undefined. My code below:
Template.listedWork.helpers({
workList: function() {
if (Meteor.user().profile.yetki == 1) {
return Work.find({})
} else {
return Work.find({
username: Meteor.user().username
});
}
}
});
I'm doing logout in listedWork page for example: localhost/listedWork. That is iron router render code
Router.route('/listedWork', {
action: function() {
this.render('listedWork');
},
onBeforeAction: function() {
if (!Meteor.userId()) {
this.layout("loginLayout");
this.render('login');
} else {
this.next();
}
}
});
When i logout here, Meteor.user().profile is call by workList that's why i get this error.
login template render in onBeforeAction for logout. Why listedWork template helper call this here.
Thank you for all helps.
The reason Meteor.user().profile is undefined after logout is because you no longer have a Meteor.user(). You need to check for this in your helper and do an appropriate action if Meteor.user() returns null.
Template.listedWork.helpers({
workList() {
if( !Meteor.user() ) {
// Handle the case. Redirect to /login or something.
}
else {
// Your current helper code here.
}
}
});

Meteor publication not working

I have Iron Router and quite simple pub/sub.
When publication just returns some specific item - everything works fine. But when it does some logic inside (looping thru another collection) - it doesn't work (Iron Router's loading template keeps showing forever, and looks like no data is coming thru DDP from this publication).
The code of pub:
Meteor.publish('ordersWithState', function(orderState) {
// if uncommented, this line works just fine
//return Orders.find({name:"C02336"});
var temp = Workflows.findOne({name:"CustomerOrder"});
if (temp) {
var stateUuid;
_.each(temp.state, function (state) {
if (state.name == orderState) {
return Orders.find({stateUuid: state.uuid});
}
});
}
});
Router config (if needed):
this.route('ordersList', {
path: '/orders/list/:orderState?',
loadingTemplate: 'loading',
waitOn: function() {
console.log("in ordersList waitOn");
var orderState = this.params.orderState || "Требуется закупка";
return [
Meteor.subscribe('ordersWithState', orderState),
Meteor.subscribe('allSuppliersSub'),
Meteor.subscribe('tempCol'),
Meteor.subscribe('workflows')
];
},
data: function () {
return Orders.find({});
},
onBeforeAction: function (pause) {
this.next();
}
});
The problem is with the logic of your publication here:
if (temp) {
var stateUuid;
_.each(temp.state, function (state) {
if (state.name == orderState) {
return Orders.find({stateUuid: state.uuid});
}
});
}
You are returning something from your inner _.each function, but you are not returning anything from the publication function. So the publication is not returning anything to Iron Router or responding with this.ready();.
It is not exactly clear to me what you want to publish - an array of cursors or perhaps an Orders.find() with an $in: [arrayOfItems]? In any case Iron Router should work fine once the publication is fixed.

iron router syntax: onAfterAction

Router.route('/courses/:_catalog', function () {
var courseCatalog = this.params._catalog.toUpperCase();
Meteor.subscribe("courseCatalog", courseCatalog);
this.render('CourseDetail', {
to: 'content',
data: function () {
return Courses.findOne({catalog: courseCatalog});
}
});
}, {
onAfterAction: function() {
if (!Meteor.isClient) {
return;
}
debugger
var course = this.data(); <======
SEO.set({
title: "course.catalog"
});
}
});
In the above code, please look at the debugger statement. I want to access the data but it seems I am doing something wrong because this.data doesn't exist. I also tried Courses.find().fetch() but I only get an empty array inside onAfterAction. What's the right syntax and what am I missing?
It needs to be inside a this.ready() block:
onAfterAction: function() {
if (this.ready()) {
var course = this.data();
...
}
}
You need to subscribe to data first. Have a look at the waitOn function to do this. The server only sends the documents you subscribed to, and since you didn't subscribe, Courses.find().fetch() returns an empty array.
Also, don't put SEO stuff in onAfterAction. Put it in onRun which is guaranteed to only run once.

Session object inside global template helpers

Session.set('coursesReady', false); on startup.
UPDATE:
I made it into a simpler problem. Consider the following code.
Inside router.js
Router.route('/', function () {
Meteor.subscribe("courses", function() {
console.log("data ready")
Session.set("coursesReady", true);
});
}
and inside main template Main.js
Template.Main.rendered = function() {
if (Session.get('coursesReady')) {
console.log("inject success");
Meteor.typeahead.inject();
}
The message "inject success" is not printed after "data ready" is printed. How come reactivity does not work here?
Reactivity "didn't work" because rendered only executes once (it isn't reactive). You'd need to wrap your session checks inside of a template autorun in order for them to get reevaluated:
Template.Main.rendered = function() {
this.autorun(function() {
if (Session.get('coursesReady')) {
console.log("inject success");
Meteor.typeahead.inject();
}
});
};
Probably a better solution is to wait on the subscription if you want to ensure your data is loaded prior to rendering the template.
Router.route('/', {
// this template will be rendered until the subscriptions are ready
loadingTemplate: 'loading',
waitOn: function () {
// return one handle, a function, or an array
return Meteor.subscribe('courses');
},
action: function () {
this.render('Main');
}
});
And now your rendered can just do this:
Template.Main.rendered = function() {
Meteor.typeahead.inject();
};
Don't forget to add a loading template.
To Solve Your Problem
Template.registerHelper("course_data", function() {
console.log("course_data helper is called");
if (Session.get('coursesReady')) {
var courses = Courses.find().fetch();
var result = [ { **Changed**
name: 'course-info1',
valueKey: 'titleLong',
local: function() {
return Courses.find().fetch();
},
template: 'Course'
}];
Session.set('courseResult', result); **New line**
return Session.get('courseResult'); **New line**
,
Explanation
The answer is at the return of the helper function needs to have be associated with reactivity in order for Blaze, template renderer, to know when to rerender.
Non-reactive (Doesn't change in the DOM as values changes)
Template.Main.helpers({
course_data: UI._globalHelpers.course_data ** Not reactive
});
Essentially: UI._globalHelpers.course_data returns an array of objects which is not reactive:
return [
{
name: 'course-info1',
valueKey: 'titleLong',
local: function() {
return Courses.find().fetch();
},
template: 'Course'
},
Reactive
From Meteor Documentation:
http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/template_helpers
Template.myTemplate.helpers({
foo: function () {
return Session.get("foo"); ** Reactive
}
});
Returning Session.get function to Blaze is reactive; thus, the template will change as the values changes.

iron-router except fails?

So i'm just getting started with iron-router, and I've been building a login system. It works via a .onBeforeAction hook before every route, checking if the user is logged in. However, there are a few routes I want public, so I've added an except option, as per the docs. Except the problem is it doesn't work :( can anybody see why?
Router.route('/new', function () {
name: 'new',
this.render('newComp');
});
Router.route('/c/:_id', {
name: 'compPage',
data: function() { return Comps.findOne(this.params._id); }
});
Router.route('/c/:_id/embed', function () {
name: 'embed',
this.layout('empty'),
this.render('compEmbed', {
data: function () {
return Comps.findOne({_id: this.params._id});
}
});
});
function loginFunction(){
// all properties available in the route function
// are also available here such as this.params
if (!Meteor.user()) {
// if the user is not logged in, render the Login template
if (Meteor.loggingIn()) {
this.render(this.loadingTemplate);
} else {
this.layout('empty');
this.render('login');
}
} else {
// otherwise don't hold up the rest of hooks or our route/action function
this.next();
}
}
Router.onBeforeAction( loginFunction, {
except: ['embed'] // this aint working
});
The problem seems to be in your route definition, the name param should be in the third param of Router.route(), like this (so your route actually didn't have a name, thus the except:['route.name'] doesn't work):
Router.route('/c/:_id/embed', function () {
this.layout('empty'),
this.render('compEmbed', {
data: function () {
return Comps.findOne({_id: this.params._id});
}
});
}, {
name: 'embed',
});
