model.get('_session.user') is undefined

[icaliman]

I have this route:

app.get '/', (page, model, params, next) ->
  user = model.get '_session.user'
  # ...

When page is rendered on the client side user is undefined.

@vmakhaev can you help me with this issue?

Yes, I know about this problem.
User is subscribed to '_session.user' only on server and it works for one page apps. If you change page on client, user is not subscribed again, you should do it yourself for the moment. Something like this (just add it before other routes):

app.get '*', (page, model, params, next) ->
    if model.get '_session.loggedIn'
      userId = model.get '_session.userId'
      $user = model.at "users.#{userId}"
      model.subscribe $user, ->
        model.ref '_session.user', $user
        next()
    else
      next()

@vmakhaev thanks for answer, and thank you for this nice module!

@icaliman you are welcome!

Just for the records, if you use the derby-router package the new way to achieve this is using a route module as explained here.
