meteor livestamp with reactive-table - meteor

Question

I have a meteor app using livestamp. However, I wish to represent a collection within a reactive-table. However, when I try the code below, it doesn't work (I see nothing in the updated column):
Template.sensor_table.helpers
settings: () ->
return {
collection: Sensors
rowsPerPage: 100
showFilter: true
fields: [
{ key: '_id', label: 'id' },
{ key: '_id', label: 'rack', fn: (v,o) -> (getSensor v).rack },
{ key: 'temp', label: 'temperature (degC)' },
{ key: 'ts', label: 'updated', fn: (v,o) -> livestamp v }
]
}
but when I use it within a template, it works fine. How can I get the functionality of livestamp within my reactive table?

Answer 1

You can do that with https://atmospherejs.com/aldeed/tabular it's also datatables but it's different package (in my opinion better)
if you choose to use it here is an example, tabular has the option to render fields as a template and livestamp should work just as on the template itself.
TabularTables.Books = new Tabular.Table({
name: "Books",
collection: Books,
columns: [
{data: "_id", title: "id"},
{data: "_id", title: "Rack"},
{ data: 'ts', title: 'updated',
tmpl: Meteor.isClient && Template.liveStamp
}
]
});
// template
<template name="liveStamp">
<p>{{livestamp this.ts}}</p>
</template>

Answer 2

so i guess it helps to actually read the manual....
Template.sensor_table.helpers
settings: () ->
return {
collection: Sensors
rowsPerPage: 100
showFilter: true
fields: [
{ key: '_id', label: 'id' },
{ key: '_id', label: 'rack', fn: (v,o) -> (getSensor v).rack },
{ key: 'temp', label: 'temperature (°C)' },
{ key: 'ts', label: 'updated', tmpl: Template.sensor_updated }
]
}
and then a template somewhere...
<template name="sensor_updated">
{{ livestamp ts }}
</template>
