Meteor breadcrumb

How do I implement a reactive breadcrumb with Meteor and iron-router?

Now I'm looking for the current path, triggered by a reactive session variable and then adding each link that corresponds to that route inside the DOM with jQuery.

Solution

  • You can call Router.current().path inside a helper function and it will return the current path. Then split the path on / and return the array to your breadcrumbs template. The function is reactive, so updates will propagate:

    Template.breadcrumbs.path = function() {
  return Router.current().path.split( "/" );
}
