Adding ! in the <title> when there is an update

help
1

How can I update the title tag when there is an update? A few sites do this to indicate, and it’s handy to be able to see this when you have multiple tabs open.

I think .observeChanges() was what I was after! :slight_smile:

Solved it with the below code:

var query = Links.find({foobar: {$exists: false}});
var handle = query.observeChanges({
    added: function (id) {
        addUpdateFlagToTitle = true;
    }
});

setInterval(function () {
    if (document.hidden && addUpdateFlagToTitle) {
        document.title = '! ' + originalTitle;
    }
    if (!document.hidden) {
        document.title = originalTitle;
        addUpdateFlagToTitle = false;
    }
}, 500);
