Override AccountsTemplates.configureRoute

[raduchiriac]

I am using a TelescopeApp (v0.25.5) and I need to edit the route paths and templates for "sign-in" and "sign-up". These are already declared under /telescope-users/lib/config.js

When I do:

AccountsTemplates.configureRoute('signIn', {
    name: 'landing',
    path: '/landingPage',
    template: 'landingPage'
});

I get an error saying: Route already configured!
Is there a way I can override a previously (from the packages) declared route?

[raduchiriac]

I've managed to do this little "cleanup" before configuring my own route. Quite ugly IMO
delete AccountsTemplates.routes.signIn;

the thing is that the first call to configureRoute actually set the route using the router API...
so, in principle, you should also cancel route configuration on the router: are you getting any problem with your current solution?

[raduchiriac]

Nope. Deleting the key on that object gives you the option to "overwrite" an already set route.
I'm not sure if you can close this. Let's just say, I found a hack not a solution.
Thanks for a great package anyway!

In case we're sure it's not a problem to configure the same route twice with flow-router, we can avoid checking whether the route is already set up (i.e. we could remove these lines).

@arunoda, do you think it would be a problem doing something like the following?

FlowRouter.route('/one/path', {
      name: 'myRoute',
      // Other options here...
});

FlowRouter.route('/another/path', {
      name: 'myRoute',  // same name as above!
      // Other different options here...
});

which is trying to change options (including path...) for a named route already defined.

[arunoda]

It won't be an issue for the route name. But configuring the same route definition twice will be problematic.

@arunoda is there any way to undo or cancel a route definition so that a new call to FlowRouter.route could then be safely performed?

Edit: alternatively, is there any way to change the options for an already defined route?

Thanks for the hack @raduchiriac, I ran into the same thing with telescope. Im interested to know if theres a superior solution.

Any updates on this? @raduchiriac 's hack did not work for me when trying to set a different layout for the '/sign-in' route.

I have the same issue, can't set a different layout to the signIn route. Any updates please? @raduchiriac

@raduchiriac
have you found any solution for this issue? If you have found any , pls share with us. i also need to set different layout for signUp in the AccountTemplates.

[raduchiriac]

It's not a solution but a work-around.
It's more than a year ago so I don't remember everything but checking my answer above, I think I was doing this:

delete AccountsTemplates.routes.signUp;
AccountsTemplates.configureRoute('signUp', {
  name: 'signUp',
  path: '/sign-up',
  template: 'register'
});
