Reactively watch the element width

How to reactively watch for an element width change ?
For example, if the element would change its width, I want to change its height reactively?

My code so far:

Template.photosListPhoto.onCreated(function () {
  this.elementWidth = new ReactiveVar();
});

Template.photosListPhoto.onRendered(function () {
  var self = this;

  self.autorun(function () {
    var currentWidth = self.$('li').width();
    self.elementWidth.set(currentWidth);
  });
});

Template.photosListPhoto.helpers({
  computedHeight: function () {
    var ratio = this.width / this.height;

    return Template.instance().elementWidth.get() / ratio;
  }
});

This is not reactive & does not update in autorun function, only on first run.

Any advices/thoughts?

Replace the autorun with a window resize event handler to set the width on the reactive variable then it will work. Make sure to tear it down though onDestroyed.

Thanks, this shall work. It seems tricky, but it seems to be the only way to do such stuff ?
