流星路由器在开发模式下工作，但不在生产模式下工作

Question

I'm trying to protect an admin page, so I created a role for it. I'm using iron:router for the routes, and in production mode I have an issue: everytime I type the url/admin in my browser, I end up in /user (it's the login page). I don't have this issue in dev mode ! I really don't get why

Here is the code:

var middleware;

middleware = {
  isAdmin: function() {
    var user;
    user = Meteor.user();

    if (!Roles.userIsInRole(user, ['admin'])) {
      this.redirect('user');
      return;
    }

    return this.next();
  }
};

And for the router: (in

Router.map(function() {
  this.route('user', {
    path: '/user'
  });
  return this.route('admin', {
    path: '/admin',
    before: [middleware.isAdmin]
  });
});

I had this issue previously. The problem is the delay in Meteor identifying you are a logged in user.

When navigating within the app, Meteor.user() remains set, so you can reach your route. When typing in the URL, you perform a full page refresh so the route hook is called before Meteor can finish logging you in.

Therefore, user = Meteor.user(); will set user to null and you are redirected to the user page.

You can use Meteor.loggingIn() to check whether the login process is still ongoing. Iron Router's waitOn hook can be used for this (or just setting a timed delay will probably do the trick in most cases).

So in fact I just used fast-render, which automatically solves my problem. Hope it'll help somebody !
