Node.js Meteor创建一个初始页面，并输入密码以进入该应用程序。 保持用户登录独立，并在应用程序内超过启动页面

Question

Wanting to create a splash page where a user can enter a site password that is the same for everyone. It's to hide the site while it's in preview only. Not sure why I'm not getting how to do this. It's got to be relatively straight forward in meteor.

Currently have Meteor-Router installed. Is this the best approach? How do I go about this?

Thank you

Here is one possible answer in CoffeeScript:

Add a filter on the Router like:

Meteor.Router.filters
  'authorizeUser': (page) ->
    if Session.get 'knowsTheSecret' then page else 'splash'

Meteor.Router.filter 'authorizeUser'

That says every page request must have the knowsTheSecret session variable set or the user will get booted back to the splash page (defined elsewhere).

On the server (as in put this in the server directory). Create a method to validate the password:

Meteor.methods
  checkSecret: (string) ->
    string is 'super secret password'

When the user clicks the login button on your splash page, you can call the method like so:

Template.splash.events
  'click button': ->
    password = $('#text-field').val()
    Meteor.call 'checkSecret', password, (err, result) ->
      Session.set 'knowsTheSecret', result

So the Session varable will only get set if the user actually knows the secret. This, of course, is not secure in any real way (They user could just open a console and set the session variable manually) but it's a start. Play around with all that and see if it gets you closer to a working solution.
