I'm trying to implement a basic route using Flow Router. But no matter what _id of a collection document I request; I always only get the info about the first document in my collection - 'Requests'.
So here's my route definition in the file /lib/routes.js:
FlowRouter.route('/requests/:reqId', {
subscriptions: function (params, queryParams) {
this.register('theRequest', Meteor.subscribe('singleRequest', params.reqId));
},
action: function (params, queryParams) {
FlowLayout.render('layout', { aside: 'aside', main: 'singleRequest' });
console.log("Yeah! We are on the post:", params.reqId);
},
name: 'aRequest'
});
Here's my helper:
Template.singleRequest.helpers({
getRequest: function () {
return Requests.findOne();
}
});
Here's my server publish:
Meteor.publish('singleRequest', function (reqId) {
return Requests.find({ _id: reqId});
});
And here's the template:
<template name="singleRequest">
{{#if isSubReady 'theRequest'}}
{{#with getRequest}}
<h2>{{_id}}</h2>
<p>{{reqFrom}}</p>
<p>{{reqBy}}</p>
{{/with}}
{{else}}
loading...
{{/if}}
</template>
What am I doing wrong? Note: In the console, I do see right 'reqId' slug due to the console.log command in the route definition. But I do not see the relevant info for the document which it belongs to.
Thanks!
OK my problem was that I previously had another subscription where I published all the Requests - not just the one with that certain _id. And because I did not create the helper to get only the one with that certain _id; of course server just sent me the very first request.
My solution was only to subscribe to previous subscription and define in the helper to fetch to the request _id:
FlowRouter.route('/requests/:reqId', {
subscriptions: function (params, queryParams) {
this.register('allRequests', Meteor.subscribe('Requests', params.reqId));
},
action: function (params, queryParams) {
FlowLayout.render('layout', { aside: 'aside', main: 'singleRequest' });
console.log("Yeah! We are on the post:", params.reqId);
},
name: 'aRequest'
});
and the helper:
Template.singleRequest.helpers({
getRequest: function () {
var reqId = FlowRouter.getParam("reqId")
return Requests.findOne({_id:reqId});
}
});
