Meteor Iron Router splash message edit

I would like to change the splash message of Iron Router failure .Instead of "Organize Your Meteor Application" ,add something user friendly.How to start with this issue ??

Solution

  • It is hard coded here in iron:router repo. You can fork it and change this line to yours.

    But why do you need this? Line 54 here can give you the idea of how iron:router uses your templates. 

    Router.prototype.lookupNotFoundTemplate = function () {
  if (this.options.notFoundTemplate)
    return this.options.notFoundTemplate;

  return (this.routes.length === 0) ? NO_ROUTES_TEMPLATE : DEFAULT_NOT_FOUND_TEMPLATE;
};

    Only if you don't have any routes defined and no config for notFoundTemplate, you will see such message, define it via router config.

    Router.configure({
    layoutTemplate: 'layout',
    notFoundTemplate: 'pageNotFound'
});
