Meteor, How can I display a url query in the client?
I am new to meteor, but it seems like this should be simple. I want to
create a page that pulls a get variable down and displays it on the client
ex: www.example.com?yourname=bob
and the page would display
bob
I feel like this should be easy, but so far have not been able to do it. I
created an call when the client loads that asks for the info, but it
doesn't work on the first load for some reason. On subsequent loads it
does.
<head>
<title>Page Chat</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
</div>
</body>
<template name="name">
{{name}}
<br />
<input type="button" value="Click" />
</template>
js code
if (Meteor.isClient) {
Meteor.startup(function(){
Meteor.call("getData", function(error, result){
if(error){
Session.set("name", "bob");
}
else{
Session.set("name", result.name);
}
});
});
Template.name.name = function(){
return Session.get("name");
};
Template.name.events({
'click input' : function () {
// template data, if any, is available in 'this'
if (typeof console !== 'undefined')
console.log("You pressed the button");
}
});
}
if (Meteor.isServer) {
var connect = Npm.require('connect');
var app = __meteor_bootstrap__.app;
var post, get;
app
// parse the POST data
.use(connect.bodyParser())
// parse the GET data
.use(connect.query())
// intercept data and send continue
.use(function(req, res, next) {
post = req.body;
get = req.query;
return next();
});
Meteor.startup(function () {
});
Meteor.methods({
getData: function() {
return get;
},
postData: function(){
return post;
}
});
}
If possible I would like to share the data on the initial page load, it
seems like a waste to create an separate page load to get information
thats already there when the page is first loading.
