How to get actual data-context? *solved*

help
1

Hi there!
I have troubles with data context;

Here is my code (unfortunatly, meteorpad is broken)

router.js(I use iron:router)

Router.configure({
    layoutTemplate: 'layout'    
});

Router.route('home',{
    path: '/',
    action: function(){
         this.redirect('sections', {page: 0});
    }
});

 Router.route('sections', {
     path: '/sections/:page',
     data: function(){
         var data = {};

         data.params = {};
         data.params.page = this.params.page?this.params.page:0;

         return data;
     }
 });

template.html

<template name="layout">
    {{>yield}}
</template>

<template name="sections">
    Page: {{params.page}}
    <br>
    <a href="{{pathFor 'sections' page=0}}">Page 0</a>
    <a href="{{pathFor 'sections' page=1}}">Page 1</a>
    <a href="{{pathFor 'sections' page=2}}">Page 2</a>
    <br>
    <button>what page?</button>
</template>

template.js

Template.sections.onRendered(function(){
    let scope = this;

    $("button").on("click", function(){
        alert("page: " + scope.data.params.page);
    });
});

When I click button, button-handler has the scope, which had the template, when rendered, but not actual in this moment;

Instead of setting up event handlers with jQuery, you should be using template events. You can see in the examples how to get the data context.

Of course, this is sipmple case!
In this case I can use template events, but in another cases, i cant, what should i do?
For example, i use rubaxa:sortable package and handle dragEnd (onEnd) event, can I use template events for this purpose? I think, no.

Ah :slight_smile: What does Template.currentData() resolve to?

5

I can call it from “onRendered” scope, but cant from handler scope.

works:

Template.sections.onRendered(function(){
    console.log(Template.currentData());
});

doesnt work:

Template.sections.onRendered(function(){
    $("button").on("click", function(){
        console.log(Template.currentData());
    });
});

error:

view.js:812 Uncaught Error: There is no current view

Any ideas? I still use bicycles )

method Blaze.getData(scope.view) returns actual data context

template.js

Template.sections.onRendered(function(){
    let scope = this;

    $("button").on("click", function(){
        alert("page: " + Blaze.getData(scope.view).params.page);
    });
});
