}Before callbacks let you set page variables, and dynamically change the page's layout, nav key or template. Before callbacks are reactive. This means that if they rely on a reactive data source and that data changes, the callbacks will be run again.
function loggingIn () {
if (Meteor.loggingIn()) {
// dynamically set the template
this.template("loggingIn");
// stop downstream callbacks from running
this.done();
}
}
function first () {
// set page specific variables using the set method
this.set("post", { _id: 1 });
}
function second () {
// dynamically set layout and nav keys or redirect
this.layout("somelayoutTemplateName");
this.nav("someNavKey");
// redirect to a different path
this.redirect(Meteor.someOtherPath());
}
Meteor.pages({
'/posts/:_id': { to: "postShow", before: [loggingIn, first, second] }
