Question: FlowRouter Support

[boustanihani]

Does this package also work with FlowRouter ?

[jamielob]

Hi @boustanihani, I've not used FlowRouter before - do you know if it uses the Meteor _uihooks?

[boustanihani]

Sorry I never used Meteor _uihooks

[jamielob]

Have you tried using the transitions package and FlowRouter together to see if it works?

[boustanihani]

Not yet, but if I do I'll let you know.

[jamielob]

Thanks! I'll be interested to know.

[boustanihani]

I just tried using this with Flow-Router, it works perfectly well!

[jamielob]

Great! Thank you for letting us know. If you have time could you put together a quick PR for the Readme?

[jamielob]

Hey @jonlachlan - Just testing FlowRouter out and couldn't get it to work with the transitions yet. Did you have to do anything special to get it working?

[jonlachlan]

@jamielob sry for not getting back with PR for docs. Pretty sure I used flow-layout (now called blaze-layout) in conjunction with flow-router.

[jamielob]

Ok thanks.

Has this question been properly answered/proven? I haven't been able to use FlowRouter/BlazeLayout to get the transitions working.

[jamielob]

@skoch - Let me put together a demo repo for FlowRouter usage.

[skoch]

I just got your demo working locally and was going to work backwards from there to see if I can't get that working with FlowRouter/BlazeLayout.

However, a demo repo would be welcome! Thanks.

@skoch: Wow a lot has changed since I wrote this package!!! This could really do with a version 3 update. Not sure if I have time to do that right now though.

The biggest issue I can see right now is related to how BlazeLayout renders into a dive is conflicting with how this package implements the UI hooks. Perhaps @jonlachlan can share how he got it working.

@jamielob: Thanks for looking into this. If/when you do have time please let me know. (I couldn't reverse engineer your code and don't know enough about the intricacies of Meteor just yet to attempt building something like this. 😞 )

If @jonlachlan has any insight, fabulous. Otherwise, till next time!
