Hello everyone
We end up questionning ourself in this post Spacebars #each access to sibling what is the best way to access a node data context in meteor.
For example, we could use a data-x attribute in the template and access it with jQuery, or we could use the Blaze.getData API to dot that.
Any thought ?
Best regards,
Will
meteor personally recommends using Blaze over jQuery for managing templates, this would basically for performance, blaze uses jquery internally.
In my application I have a big chat (really big) and chat UI runs smoothly, have tried to do everything in a simple way, when I want to access another data context I use Template.parentData or reactiveVar, but I’ve never really had to go directly to blaze or jquery
