Iron Router (meteor): how to set default route?

Question

I've 4 views (templates):

• start
• showScannedData
• dashboard
• loading

I defined routing in client_server/lib/routing.js:

Router.configure({
    loadingTemplate: 'loading'
});


Router.route('/', {
    name:'start',
    template:'start'
});

Router.route('/mobile', {
    name:'mobileStart',
    template:'showScannedData'
});

Router.route('/desktop', {
    name:'desktopStart',
    template:'dashboard'
});

In client/app.js I put:

Router.go('/start');

It works. However the template showScannedData is rendered twice, as if I set it as templateLayout too. As for my application I don't need a default layout but single individuals view to be loaded either on start (template: start) or on a specific action performed by the user (templates: showScannedData / dashboard).

What am I doing wrongly?

Answer 1

Thanks to @piscator and @Keith for giving me a key hint.

I figure out that, while I wasn't rendering the template twice, I put

{{>> showScannedData}}

in project_name.html file (i.e. the file rendered when routing is not used).

So I basically removed the line above from the file and used Iron's router to go to starter template by:

Router.go("/")

in client/app.js, which is defined in client_server/lib/routing.js as

Router.route('/', {
    name:'start',
    template:'start'
});

corresponding to

<template name="start">
    <input id="goToMobileBtn" type="button" value="Go to mobile view"/><br><br>
    <input id="goToDesktopBtn" type="button" value="Go to desktop view"/>
</template>

Hint: I found out that since "/" route is the first one defined in routing.js, the Router.go is optional.
