Meteor pass variable, iron route

Question

Im getting started Meteor , I use iron router to manipulate route.. so I want to pass a variable to template:

Router.route('/foo', function(){
  this.render('foo', {name: 'Stack'});
});

how i can show the variable name in the template foo:

<template name="foo">
    <h2>Hi bro, how i can show the variable name here ?? </h2>
</template>

my project folder as the following structure:

/client
---/views
------foo.html
---/layout
------layout.html
/public
/server

layout.html:

<template name="layout">
  {{> yield}}
</template>

any solutions please :)

Answer 1

In your routing:

Router.route('/foo', function(){
  this.render('foo', {data: {name: 'Stack'}});
});

In your template

<template name="foo">
    <h2>Hi bro, how i can show the variable name here ?? </h2>
    <p>Like this --> {{name}}</p>
</template>

You can pull variables from the route too:

Router.route('/foo/:someName', function(){
  this.render('foo', {data: {name: this.params.someName}});
});
