Universe Collection Links

This package can help you with binding routes with collection and its document. It works for FlowRouter ( but It can works with Iron Router too. - Not tested for Iron Router yet)

Creating routes

1Books = new UniCollection('books');
2
3Books.setCollectionRoute('/books', {
4    // default name for collection route is 'listing'
5    name: 'listing',
6    action () {
7        // ...
8    }
9});
10
11Books.setCollectionRoute('/book/:_id', {
12    // default name for document route is 'fullview'
13    name: 'fullview',
14    action (params) {
15        // ...
16    }
17});
18
19Books.setCollectionRoute('/short_page/:_id', {
20    // custom name of route
21    name: 'shortview',
22    action (params) {
23        // ...
24    }
25});

Getting path

.getLink('routeName', params, queryParams) returns link for route

1var doc = Books.findOne();
2//default route for document is fullview (parameter(s) of route must be the same as key(s) of document)
3doc.getLink(); //output: '/book/ac9b43533dd'
4
5doc.getLink('shortview'); //output: '/short_page/ac9b43533dd'
6
7Books.getLink(); //output: '/books'
8
9Books.getLink('listing'); //output: '/books'
10
11FlowRouter.path('booksListing'); //output: '/books'
12// You can use IronRouter instead FlowRouter as well but for now it is not tested.
13
14//From collection to get link for route with params) you must pass them.
15Books.getLink('fullview', {_id: 'ac9b43533dd'}); //output: '/book/ac9b43533dd'

Navigate to path

Use .goToLink() instead .getLink() to change current route.
