Adding Title to URL Meteor Iron Router

Currently I have 

http://www.example.com/videos/videoId

In my iron router,

Router.route('/videos/:_id', { name: 'videoShowtemplate' }

I want to make my site more seo friendly so I was thinking of adding the video title to the URL.

http://www.example.com/videos/videoId/videoTitle

can you tell me how i can do this? thank you very much in advance.

Solution

  • Go through the docs: https://github.com/EventedMind/iron-router/blob/devel/Guide.md

    Keep the same route and just add /:slug to your params.

    Do all your validations on _id 

    Router.route('/videos/:_id/:slug', { 
    template: 'videoShowtemplate' 
}

    use the following code to redirect to the site

    in html

    <a href="/videos/{{_id}}/{{title}}">click here</a>

    or in js

    Router.go('videoShowtemplate', {_id: id,slug: title});
