What's the correct way to create a global iron:router subscription?

I need a particular subscription for every route in my app, this works but I'm unsure if it is correct?

Router.onBeforeAction(function() {
    Meteor.subscribe('locations');
    this.next();
});

Also, is there a way to waitOn() globally?

Solution

  • You can declare any options that you can set on a route on a global level by using the Router.configure({}); . To use your example above:

    Router.configure({
    waitOn: function() {
        return Meteor.subscribe('locations');
    }
});

    The above will give you the specified subscription for all routes in your application by using the waitOn option in a global route context. For more information about all of the other options that you can set for routes on a global level, check this out.
