SubsManager with Iron-Router new API

Question

any idea how I could connect SubsManager with IR new API? I use syntax like:

Router.route('/', function () {
    this.subscribe('some_subscription').wait();

  if (this.ready()) {
     //something
  } else {
    //something
  }
},{
    name:'1234'
});

Tried subs.subscribe('some_subscription').wait(); but it threw error Template never rendered, did you forget to call 'this.next()?(of course I initialized object subs)

From the subscription manager docs https://github.com/meteorhacks/subs-manager/#limitations

 At the moment, the following functionality doesn't work (patches welcome):

chained .wait() call in Iron Router (issue - you can use waitOn instead)

so subs.subscribe('some_subscription').wait(); this will throw error

From Iron-router docs https://github.com/EventedMind/iron-router#migrating-from-094

onRun and onBeforeAction hooks now require you to call this.next(), and no longer take a pause() argument. So the default behaviour is reversed. For example, if you had:

Router.onBeforeAction(function(pause) {
  if (! Meteor.userId()) {
    this.render('login');
    pause();
  }
});

You'll need to update it to

Router.onBeforeAction(function() {
  if (! Meteor.userId()) {
    this.render('login');
  } else {
    this.next();
  }
});

Make sure that this.next() is called on onRun and onBeforeAction blocks

and also organize your router code like in lib/routes.js file

//configuration

 Router.configure({
        layoutTemplate: 'layout',
        loadingTemplate: 'loading',
        notFoundTemplate: 'error'
    });

//keep all your routers under a common function

Router.map(function() {
     this.route("index",{
           path:"/",
           onBeforeAction:function(){ //do something },
           data:return something,
           onAfterAction
    });
});

Finally my answer to the question any idea how I could connect SubsManager with IR new API?

Router.map(function() {
         this.route("index",{
               path:"/",
               waitOn: function() {
                   return subs.subscribe('some_subscription');
               },
               data:function(){
                    if (this.ready()) {
                         //do something like this.render("loading")
                     } else {
                          //do something this.render("mytemplate")
                     }
               },
               onAfterAction
        });
    });
