Not working for Meteor 1.2.1

[shkomg]

Looks like package isn't working at all with the simplest parameters even:

Router.configure({                                                                                                                                                                        
  loadingTemplate: 'loading',                                                                                                                                                             
  layoutTemplate: 'StaticLayout',                                                                                                                                                         
  notFoundTemplate: 'notFound',                                                                                                                                                           
  preload: {                                                                                                                                                                              
    verbose: true,                                                                                                                                                                        
    async: [                                                                                                                                                                              
      'https://oss.maxcdn.com/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js',                                                                                                                          
      'https://oss.maxcdn.com/respond/1.4.2/respond.min.js'                                                                                                                               
    ]                                                                                                                                                                                     
  }                                                                                                                                                                                       
}) 

I assume that after that respond.js must be available over browser console or in resources tab, but can't find it.

Is there any new way to handle external scripts?

Thank you.

Well, since you're loading remote (CDN,...) resources asynchronously, you have to check whether they'd actually finished loading to be able to use them - some of them also need some time for initialization (loading more external dependences and so on).

That's why you should use [onBeforeAsync/]onAsync[/onAfterAsync] handlers. Take a look in README.md for more info.

Ok I've tried simple code:

Router.configure({                                                                                                                                                                        
  loadingTemplate: 'loading',                                                                                                                                                             
  layoutTemplate: 'StaticLayout',

}) 

and have no output in console at all. Is it ok?

[MiroHibler]

Oh, wait - have you defined PreloadController as your route controller anywhere?

For example:

HomeController = PreloadController.extend();

Router.route( '/', {
    name: 'home'
});

or

Router.route( '/', {
    controller: PreloadController   // or 'PreloadController'
});

[shkomg]

Nope, I've own controller defined for each route. How may I make my controllers play with PreloadController?

Thank you.

[MiroHibler]

'Instantiate' (extend) your route controllers from PreloadController instead of RouteController (as in my last example for 'HomeController').

[shkomg]

uh, yeah - quite a lot of work. Hope it helps - i'll msg back once try. Thank you for prompt answers.

[MiroHibler]

Maybe not so much of work - if you're using Sublime Text or some other advanced editor and do a multi-file find'n'replace ;)

[shkomg]

not my code - so need to be careful.

Anyway - it works now!!!

Thank you very much for prompt responses!
