From what I can tell the pause function is the first parameter your before hook is getting called with. Not in the docs anywhere, but that's what I gathered from the code and it seems to work.
Here's what I use:
var subscribeAllPlanItems = function (pause) {
var planId = this.params._id;
this.subscribe('revenues', planId).wait();
this.subscribe('expenses', planId).wait();
};
var waitForSubscriptions = function (pause) {
if (this.ready()) { //all the subs have come in
//NProgress.done();
setPlan(this.params._id);
} else { //all subscriptions aren't yet ready, keep waiting
//NProgress.start();
pause();
}
};
Router.map(function () {
this.route('calendar', {
path: '/calendar/:_id',
template: 'calendar',
before: [
subscribeAllPlanItems,
waitForSubscriptions
],
});
//Other routes omitted
});
var requireLogin = function (pause) {
if (Meteor.loggingIn()) { //still logging in
pause();
}
if (!Meteor.user()) { //not logged in
this.render('signIn');
pause();
} else { //logged in, life is good
console.log("requireLogin: logged in");
}
};
//This enforces login for all pages except the below ones.
Router.before(requireLogin, {
except: ['landing', 'signUp', 'signIn', 'forgotPassword', 'resetPassword']
});
