[SOLVED] Does FlowRouter always redirect to the homepage after login?

andersr · March 25, 2016, 8:08pm

Based on my test in this repo, I am not able to get FlowRouter to redirect to any other page than the homepage after login/signup.

I have no explicit redirects to the homepage. Even so, after login, I am redirected to the homepage. This might be nice in some cases, but is a nuisance when I want to redirect back to a specific page.

In addition to the example in the above repo, I also tried this:


Accounts.onLogin(function(){

 if (Meteor.isClient) {
   FlowRouter.go('about')
 }
	
})

This is ignored and I am still redirected to the homepage.

Please show me an example of getting FlowRouter to not redirect to the homepage after login.

This is related to this question that I asked earlier.

Anytime you login (from login.jsx at least) it looks like you’re explicitly redirecting to the home page.

github.com

andersr/meteor-accounts-login-test/blob/master/client/login.jsx#L16


  e.preventDefault()
  
  const
    email = $('#email').val(),
    password = $('#password').val()
  
  Meteor.loginWithPassword(email, password, (error) => {
    if (error) {
      console.log("login error: " + error.reason)
    }
  })
}


const signupMsg = "Don't have an account?"


return  (
  <form onSubmit={loginWithPassword} id="login-form">
    <div className="form-group">
     <label htmlFor="email">Email:</label>
     <input type="email" id="email" name="email" className="form-control"/>
   </div>

@sergiotapia that was the issue! Thank you thank you thank you!

I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure out the issue and it turns out I was looking in the wrong place!

Also, as per your recommendation, I will be sure to search my own repo as part of debugging, which would have uncovered the redirect in the login form, which I must have added a long time ago and forgotten about.
