You’re probably seeing undefined first, then the actual object? If so that’s normal behavior.

When the page loads it will run the helper function as soon as possible, by then the subscription might not be ready so there is no data in the Rooms collection, thus it can’t find anything. As soon as the subscription is ready the helper will rerun and now return the correct data object.

thank nlammertyn
now i found on youtube about template level subscriptions is that a right way to solve this?

There’s nothing to solve really, this is normal. Doing template lever subscriptions doesn’t change that at all.
Does it give you any problems? There’s always ways to work around it if it does.
