Meteor + IronRouter -- how can I redirect the user after logging in without blocking access to my landing page?

Question

In my app, I have the loginButtons on the landing page. I would like users to be automatically redirected to the /home route after a successful login.

This code seems to accomplish that:

// Redirect to /home after logging in
Accounts.onLogin(function() {
  Router.go("/home");
});

// Make sure the user is logged in when accessing other routes
Router.onBeforeAction((function() {
  if (!Meteor.userId() && !Meteor.loggingIn()) {
    Router.go("/");
  }
  this.next();
}), {
  except: ["/"]
});

However, when a logged-in user then tries to access the landing page again, they get redirected to the /home route. This effectively blocks their access to the landing page.

How can I redirect users to /home after logging in without preventing them from accessing the landing page afterwards?

Answer 1

I managed to fix it using the u2622:persistent-session package:

// Redirect to /home after logging in
Accounts.onLogin(function() {
  if (!Session.get("loginRedirected")){
      Router.go("/home");
      Session.setAuth("loginRedirected", true);
  }
});

The Session.setAuth method it adds creates session variables in localstorage so that they persist across page refreshes. It even automatically clears them when the user logs out.
