The Roles
package sets up an automatic publication that sends the roles
property on the Meteor.users
collection. Unfortunately, you can't get a subscription handle for automatic publications, so you'll need to make your own.
Set up a new subscription that publishes the required data of a user, then configure Router to check that the data is ready before showing any page.
eg:
if (Meteor.isServer) {
Meteor.publish("user", function() {
return Meteor.users.find({
_id: this.userId
}, {
fields: {
roles: true
}
});
});
}
if (Meteor.isClient) {
var userData = Meteor.subscribe("user");
Router.before(function() {
if (Meteor.userId() == null) {
this.redirect('login');
return;
}
if (!userData.ready()) {
this.render('logingInLoading');
this.stop();
return;
}
this.next(); // Needed for iron:router v1+
}, {
// be sure to exclude the pages where you don't want this check!
except: ['register', 'login', 'reset-password']
});
}
