Lazy Subscription

Overview

Lazy Subscription allows you to subscribe to collection when you need it. It is an easy way to write big application that need to load a lot of collection over an amount of pages.

Installation

mrt add lazy-subscription

Uses

First you must define the collection to be independence of server and client side.

/server/publish.js

1//This is no longer share with the client.
2Post = new Meteor.Collection('post');
3Meteor.publish('posts', function() {
4	//Just a normal publish function.
5	return Post.find({});
6});

/client/subscribe.js

1//Post = new Meteor.Collection('post'); No longer exists. Lazy will deal with it for us.
2Post = new Meteor.Lazy('post', function() {
3	Meteor.subscribe('posts');
4});

/client/some_template.js

1Template.some_template.get_posts = function() {
2	return Post().find({}); //Note that Post is now a function.
3};

Notes

This should be use in reactive context or else on the first run you will get an empty collection.
