Features

• Before Callbacks: Set page variables and dynamically alter the layout, navigation key, or template before the page loads. These callbacks are reactive, meaning they update automatically with data changes.

• Handlebars Helpers: Utilize built-in Handlebars helpers like {{renderPages}} to render pages manually, giving you control while using the autoRender: false option.

• Template and Nav Handling: Access current templates and navigation keys effortlessly with helpers like {{pageTemplate}}, {{pageNav}}, and conditional checks to optimize rendering based on the current state.

• Dynamic Page Invocation: Access the current page's invocation dictionary through {{page}}, which allows you to interact with variables set in your before callbacks for more dynamic content display.

• Ease of Installation: Installation and updates of Mini-Pages are straightforward, whether you’re starting a new project or integrating it into an existing setup.

• Reactive Design: The library’s reactive features ensure that any changes to the underlying data sources will seamlessly trigger necessary UI updates, enhancing the user experience.

In summary, Mini-Pages offers a potent combination of simplicity and efficiency that can significantly enhance the routing capabilities of Meteor applications.
