I have a router data function that calls a Meteor method to insert a new document into a collection. I noticed that the document was being inserted twice and then I noticed that the data function itself is called twice every time the route is visited. I can't figure out why this is happening.
Router.route('/myurl',{
name: 'myurl',
path: '/myurl',
data: function () {
console.log('dupe?');
// the data function is an example where this.params is available
// we can access params using this.params
// see the below paths that would match this route
var params = this.params;
// we can access query string params using this.params.query
var post = this.params.query;
// query params are added to the 'query' object on this.params.
// given a browser path of: '/?task_name=abcd1234
// this.params.query.task_name => 'abcd1234'
if(this.ready()){
Meteor.call('points.add', post, function(error, result){
if(error)
{
Session.set("postResponse", "failed");
}
else
{
Session.set("postResponse", "success");
}
});
return {_message: Session.get("postResponse")};
}
}
});
I was able to fix this by moving everything under data to a Router.onRun hook.
