Filter access the route params

[ciokan]

If I have a route defined that takes a url param say user_id and I have a filter set for all routes...how do I see inside my filter what the user_id contains? I should be able to know it's value since the filter is the same as after_render in rails.

Meteor.Router.add({
    '/:user_id': function (user_id) {
        return 'welcome';
    }
});

Meteor.Router.filters({
    'check_status': function (page) {
        // user_id??????????
        return page;
    }
});

Take a look at this inside your filter function.

Object {check_status: function}
check_status: function (page) {
arguments: null
caller: null
length: 1
name: ""
prototype: Object
constructor: function (page) {
arguments: null
caller: null
length: 1
name: ""
prototype: Object
__proto__: function Empty() {}
<function scope>
__proto__: Object
__defineGetter__: function __defineGetter__() { [native code] }
__defineSetter__: function __defineSetter__() { [native code] }
__lookupGetter__: function __lookupGetter__() { [native code] }
__lookupSetter__: function __lookupSetter__() { [native code] }
constructor: function Object() { [native code] }
hasOwnProperty: function hasOwnProperty() { [native code] }
isPrototypeOf: function isPrototypeOf() { [native code] }
propertyIsEnumerable: function propertyIsEnumerable() { [native code] }
toLocaleString: function toLocaleString() { [native code] }
toString: function toString() { [native code] }
valueOf: function valueOf() { [native code] }
__proto__: function Empty() {}
apply: function apply() { [native code] }
arguments: null
bind: function bind() { [native code] }
call: function call() { [native code] }
caller: null
constructor: function Function() { [native code] }
length: 0
name: "Empty"
toString: function toString() { [native code] }
__proto__: Object
<function scope>

__proto__: Object
__defineGetter__: function __defineGetter__() { [native code] }
__defineSetter__: function __defineSetter__() { [native code] }
__lookupGetter__: function __lookupGetter__() { [native code] }
__lookupSetter__: function __lookupSetter__() { [native code] }
constructor: function Object() { [native code] }
hasOwnProperty: function hasOwnProperty() { [native code] }
isPrototypeOf: function isPrototypeOf() { [native code] }
propertyIsEnumerable: function propertyIsEnumerable() { [native code] }
toLocaleString: function toLocaleString() { [native code] }
toString: function toString() { [native code] }
valueOf: function valueOf() { [native code] }

Sorry but I must be missing something. I can't seem to relate with the route param from inside this in my filter.

Oh, apologies. I thought it was a context object, like inside a routing function. (this.params works there)

This will be address in an upcoming release.
