staringatlights:inject-data

A way to inject data to the client with initial HTML. A continuation of meteorhacks:inject-data.

This is the package used by fast-render to push data to the client with the initial HTML.

Upgrading from 2.0.0

Due to changes to Meteor 1.6.1, the way Inject Data internally accumulates the data payload has changed. The payload was previously attached to the response object, which is now unavailable. It is now attached to the request.headers object (which is the only object that seems to persist between the server-renders sink.request object and WebAppInternals.registerBoilerplateDataCallback's request object, unfortunately). If you were calling InjectData methods directly (eg. pushData you must now pass in the request object instead of the response).

Installation

meteor add staringatlights:inject-data

Push Data

We need to use this package with a server side router. We've extended nodejs http.OutgoingMessage and provides an API like this.

Here is an example with picker.

Picker.route('/', function(params, req, res, next) {
	var ejsonData = { aa: 10 }
	InjectData.pushData(req, 'some-key', ejsonData)
	// make sure to move the routing forward.
	next()
})

Get Data

You can get data with the following API from the client.

InjectData.getData('some-key', function(data) {
	console.log(data)
})

Disable Automatic Injection

You may wish to manually inject the data payload if you are using SSR.

InjectData._disableInjection = true

Injection Location

By default, the injector will place the payload inside the <head> element. This is render blocking and intended to front-load the data for client-side rendering apps.

You can disable this functionality by setting InjectData.injectToHead = false. The payload will be placed before the closing </body> tag. Use this setting to deliver payloads after the initial render, e.g. SSR data hydration.
