Meteorjs Iron Router: Router.current is not a function at [object object]

I am running into what is likely a straightforward issue when attempting to retrieve the Routers route name that I have in the below code. When the statement Router.current() executes it returns back a null object even though I have specified the name in my route. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong here?

This file is loaded into my /lib/ directory

Router.route( '/webservices', { name: 'webservices', where: "server" } )
      .get( function() {
        var res = this.response;
        var routeName = Router.current().route.getName();
        clientIp = this.request.connection.remoteAddress;

        console.log(clientIp+' '+routeName);

        res.end('NGA Web Services are Online!');

      });

Error Code:

TypeError: Router.current is not a function at [object Object].

Solution

  • Iron router mentioned this line on the doc

    "If you're on the client, you can use the Router.current() method."

    So You can not access the Router.current on server side.
