Pass data to template in Meteor.js
EDIT: This method works in 0.8.1. If anything gets changed in 1.0, I'll update this.
With the new blaze engine, I found the arguments of a template is confusing. Here is what I found that works for me:
# main page
template(name="downloads")
h4 Software
.row
.col-md-12
table.table
each exes
+downloadResourceRow resource=this class="success"
# helper
Template.downloads.helpers
exes: ->
Resources.find()
# partial
template(name="downloadResourceRow")
tr(class="{{class}}")
td.col-md-4
b #{resource.name}
td.col-md-8
a.btn.btn-default(href="{{resource.file_link}}") Download
# data
@Resources = new Meteor.Collection2 "resources",
schema:
name:
type: String
file_link:
type: String
Basically I always pass data using keyword arguments and they will become the new data context.
In the example above, the data context the template downloadResourceRow
gets is this:
{
resouce: 'the resource object'
class: "success"
}
