Evaluate route paths relative to ROOT_URL parameter

[petermikitsh]

When running my meteor app in production mode, my ROOT_URL is defined as www.mysite.com/prototype.

My router file is defined as such:

Router.map(function routerMap() {

  this.route('index', {
    path: '/',
    template: 'index'
  });

});

When going to www.mysite.com/prototype, I get a Exception in defer callback: Error: Oh no! No route found for path: "/prototype" error.

The route path should be evaluated as / instead of /prototype because the ROOT_URL includes /prototype.

I have the same issue

Hi guys, IR does not currently support this.

Potentially you could use a middleware in IR1.0 to re-write the URLs to achieve what you need. Not sure.

This is on my radar. Need to think about whether/how the middleware mount option might support this.

@cmather did you try the middleware option?

There's some discussion of this issue in #154 as well.

I modified the URL.parse function within the Iron:URL package. now it uses the meteor runtime variable ROOT_URL instead of sticking the root url together by itself. Pull request => iron-meteor/iron-url#17

I hit this issue too. I have a temporary fix in the form of the following monkey patch hack which is working for me, but an official fix would be nice

// note: this hack will cause issues if any of your routes are expected to contain
// the same string used in your ROOT_URL_PATH_PREFIX, e.g. if you
// have the url http://yoursite.com/prefix/url/that/repeats/prefix/
(function() {
    Iron.Url._oldParse = Iron.Url.parse;
    Iron.Url.parse = function(url) {
        if (__meteor_runtime_config__.ROOT_URL_PATH_PREFIX) {
            url = url.replace(__meteor_runtime_config__.ROOT_URL_PATH_PREFIX, "");
        }
        return Iron.Url._oldParse(url);
    };
})();
