Programatically Click a Iron Router Link in MeteorJS

When you click on an iron router link, MeteorJS will change the template that is being renderd into the page. this is not a traditional page reload.

how can i achieve this programically?

for example: i have a hyperlink defined by "{{pathFor 'settings'}}", clicking on it will change the template being displayed to the 'settings' template. but when i do this programatically with "window.location='http://localhost/settings'", a page refresh is triggered and any variables i may have initialised are gone.

i think i can achieve the result i want by adding a 'trigger click' event in jquery, but i was wondering if there is a better/simpler solution available

Solution

  • You have to use Router.go('settings');. You can either provide a path or a route name if you set one.
