Why does my template not reactive?

help
1

If I first open http://localhost:3000/, then click the test link, the roles labels will be displayed.

But if I directly open http://localhost:3000/test(Input the url in Chrome’s address bar and hit enter), the roles labels will not be displayed.

Here is my code:

In client startup I subscribe to something:

Meteor.publish("Roles", function(){
  return Roles.find();
});

Meteor.startup(function() {
  if(Meteor.isClient) {
    Meteor.subscribe('Roles');
  }
});

And roles template:

Template.roles.helper( {
  allRoles: function() {
    return Roles.find();
  }
})

html

      <template name="roles">
      <div>
        {{#each allRoles}}
          <label>test</label>
       {{/each}}
      </div>
    </template>

The problem is sometime roles template is rendered before the Roles is ready.
So these is no role labels displayed.

But according to Meteor document, helpers is a reactive computation, and Database queries on Collections is reactive data source. So after Roles is ready, the {{#with allRoles}} is reactive and should be displayed.

Why does roles not be displayed?

And then I rewrite my code to:

 Meteor.startup(function() {
       if(Meteor.isClient) {
        roles_sub = Meteor.subscribe('Roles');
       }
     });



   Template.roles.helper({
            allRoles: function() {
              console.log(2);
              return Roles.find();
            },
            isReady: function() {
              console.log(1);
              console.log(roles_sub.ready());
              return roles_sub.ready();
            }
          })

html

    <template name="roles">
       <div>
         {{#if isReady}}
         {{#each allRoles}}
           <label>test</label>
         {{/each}}
        {{/if}}
      </div>
    </template>

And still role labels cannot be displayed.
And console gives me:

1
false
1
false
1
true
2

Which means isReady() is reactive? but why my roles labels remains blank?

Can somebody explain this?

Your original code looks just fine. Is your publish function actually called?

3

You are writing {{> role }} which would include a “role” template with context provided by your allRoles helper, but i don’t see a “role” template anywhere in your code ?

4

Yes, I use console.log to confirmed.

5

It is not important so I did not write. Even I use <p>aa</p> it wont work

6

do you mean to write

{{#each allRoles}}
    <label>{{> role}}</label>
{{/each}}
7

I have never used {{#with}} when I expected more than 1 element (i.e. only when I used findOne), so I don’t know if with also implicitly loops through the results. In any case I would say it is better to use {{#each}} when you are expecting more than one result from a query, since that is what it was designed for.

It still does not work…

I changed to #each , still doest not work.

Do you see documents for your publication when you query the collection in the client database in the console ?
What gives Roles.find().fetch() in the console ?
