ReactiveDict is undefined

help
1

Hello,

my Problem is that I am currently trying to access a ReactiveDict in an EventListener inside the same Template. The creation in my onCreated seems to work. But when I am trying to access it it is always undefined. Can anybody please have a look?

Event Listener:

Template.bierwart_getrankezahlen.events({
    'click .minus1'(event, instance) {
        const id = this._id;

        const current = instance.zahlen.get(id);
        instance.zahlen.set(id, current - 1);
    },

onCreated function:

Template.bierwart_getrankezahlen.onCreated(() => {
    const template = this;
    template.zahlen = new ReactiveDict();

    Meteor.subscribe('getranke');
});

What is undefined: instance.zahlen or id?

instance.zahlen is undefined.
Sorry for being not precise

Your code looks correct.

What is the exact error message in your console log?

Is the full error log in the console.

Hmm. And just to be certain, you have done meteor add reactive-dict?

It was my initial thought as well so I stopped my App and ran the command.

Okay - I’ve just seen the problem. You can’t use fat arrows in onCreated or onRendered, so Template.bierwart_getrankezahlen.onCreated(() => { needs to be Template.bierwart_getrankezahlen.onCreated(function() {

Yeah, arrow functions by definition bind the definition of this, which prevents Blaze from giving you the template instance as this
