I am trying to access my Products collection in Minimongo in the html page. When I am in my browser console, I am able to type Products.findOne();
and it will return a product.
However, when I try to return a product from my template helper, I get undefined. Thoughts anyone?
Template.Tires.onRendered(function() {
console.log(Products.findOne());
//after I return a product item, I need to modify its properties manually after it has loaded into the client
});
Simple answer: Do whatever modification you need to do on the collection within the helper function and then return a JS object. For instance if you collection looks something like this:
SomeColleciton
_id
type: String
birthday:
type: Date
firstname:
type: String
lastname:
type: String
timezone:
type: Integer
you can do the following to transform it
Template.Tires.helpers({
user: function(userId) {
var u = SomeCollection.findOne(userId);
var age = calcAge(u.birthday);
var ifworkinghour = calcifworkinghour(u.timezone);
return {name: u.firstname + ' ' + u.lastname, age: age, workinghour: ifworkinghour}
});
