Server side Routes #23

Closed jamgold closed 7 years ago

jamgold commented 7 years ago

I am writing an application that should provide some REST interface, but can't get server side routes working, not even with Picker. Am I missing something?

Hello @jamgold ,

For this purpose you need to create local package (placed above ostrio:flow-router-extra in the .meteor/packages file).

It can be easily done using webapp package only, or extending it with solutions like express.js, connect.js and similar.

Maybe simpler will be to use simple:rest package.

It's up to you, saying that ostrio:flow-router-extra should be considered as Client-only solution

Hello @dr-dimitru ,

thank you for answering. I have figured out how to use Picker. My main confusion was that I have assets in public for which there are not routes, of course. If a request is made to something in public that does not exist, the not-found route kicks in, which unfortunately is indistinguishable from a successful request (no status 404). Do you know how to manipulate the HTTP Status with this router?

Not currently possible with Meteor. It's Meteor's "feature" and not related to FR package. It's common for most of the front-end JS solutions, and not Meteor specific.

But if you're looking 404 response codes (genuine status code) for SEO (Google, Yahoo, etc.) optimization, take a look on:
