Getting a problem with meteor 1.2 and reactivevar

help
1

I am trying to do something like as follows with an html component.

Template['ActionButton'].events({
  'click button[data-action="activate"]': function (e, template) {
    template.executing.set(true);
    Meteor.apply(template.data.method, template.data.args.split(','), {
      wait: false
    }, () => template.executing.set(false));
  }
});
Template['ActionButton'].onCreated(function () {
  this.executing = new ReactiveVar(false);
});

Then in my jade template.

template("ActionButton")
  button(data-action="activate" disabled="get executing")
    | {{ text }}

However, it seems that it is never setting this reactive var or making it update on the template.

What’s the deal? Did something change in 1.2?

In your event handler, you get access to the onCreated this using the template parameter from the function definition, so:

Template['ActionButton'].events({
  'click button[data-action="activate"]': function (e, template) {
    template.executing.set(true);
    Meteor.apply(template.data.method, template.data.args.split(','), {
      wait: false
    }, () => template.executing.set(false));
  }
});
