Question

I'm following this tutorial to learn Meteor. After adding the first JS code, I'm getting [object Object] on my browser. I've followed everything as explained (except for some names that I have changed, but I haven't used any reserved words), but I cannot see anything else. This part is in the first 4 minutes. This is how my files look:

demonstration.js:

CalEvents = new Meteor.Collection('calevents');
Session.setDefault('editing_calevent', null);
Session.setDefault('showEditEvent', false);
Meteor.Router.add({
    '/':'home',
    '/calendar':'calendar'  
})

calendar.html:

<template name="calendar">
    <div id="calendar">
        Hello world! Now at calendar.
    </div>
</template>

home.html:

<template name="home">
    <div class="hero-unit">
        <p>Manage your calendar</p>
        <p><a class="btn btn-primary btn-large">Learn more</a></p>
    </div>  
</template>

demonstration.html:

<head>
  <title>Calendar app</title>
</head>

<body>
  {{>menu}}
    <div class="container-fluid">
        <div class="row-fluid"> 
            {{renderPage}}
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

I suspect it has something to do with the Meteor.Router.add() line, because the little I did prior to adding this worked. I have tried changing the page to show on '/' to other pages that contained a simple text, but it didn't work.

Edit to add: I am working thru Nitrous.io and I installed Meteorite prior to adding the router package.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I have searched in here and on Google but I haven't been able to find any answer to this question. If there is one, kindly point me to the right address.

Solution

Lots of examples that use Meteor prior to version 0.8 will not work, so make sure you check out a recently updated example, like those on Discover Meteor.

In this case, router has been fixed to support Meteor 0.8 and your example will work by replacing {{renderPage}} with {{> renderPage}}. However, the rest of the example probably won't work, and as others have mentioned, router has been deprecated for Iron Router.
