Using Bladejs with Meteor - meteor

I recently added the node-blade smart package to my meteor and have static content displaying fine. However, I'm not able to use any template variables. Before I installed blade, the template variables worked fine with handlebars. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Your application is crashing. Waiting for file change.
info.blade
.player-name.large= player.name
client.js
if(Meteor.is_client) {
Template.info.player = function(){
var data = Session.get( 'data' );
return data.player;
};
}

EDIT: Helpers are now permitted in body templates.
You cannot use helpers or certain global variables in head or body templates. You can't even use them in templates that are included by head or body templates.
Checkout these links for more information:
https://github.com/bminer/node-blade/issues/98
https://github.com/bminer/node-blade/wiki/Using-Blade-with-Meteor

EDIT: This answer is no longer accurate as of Blade 3.0.0 stable. body.blade templates may not contain dynamic stuff like helpers, references to Session, etc.
In 'Using Blade with Meteor' says that
References to Session are not allowed in head or body templates. This is by design, and it is not a bug. In Handlebars, you could use Session or Meteor within a tag, but not a tag. I didn't like the Handlebars implementation, so you're stuck with this one. The body.blade template is mostly for static content (i.e. a loading page or whatever). Once your application is loaded, you can do $("body").replaceWith(Meteor.ui.render(Template.homepage) ); from your application code.
So, this is saying that, on initialization, one could not have dynamic generated templates.
To workaround this, documentation suggests
$("body").replaceWith(Meteor.ui.render(Template.homepage) )
I replaced replaceWith method with html method. See an example that's working for me:
# ./the_cow.coffee
if Meteor.isClient
$ ->
$('body').html Meteor.render -> Template.test
user:
name: 'Pill'
# ./views/test.blade
#test Testing
p= user.name
See the compiled JavaScript:
if (Meteor.isClient) {
$(function() {
return $('body').html(Meteor.render(function() {
return Template.test({
user: {
name: 'Pill'
}
});
}));
});
}
Don't know if there is a shorter way to write it.

SvelteKit: Pass Data From +Layout.svelte To +page.svelte SPA (static) application

I'm struggling with the latest version of SvelteKit, the docs available only works with SSR, and I'm developing SPA app (static page), so, what is the way to pass data from my +layout.svelte to +page.svelte?.
The documentation says that with load function from page.js (I've already set the SSR=false, and I understood that page.js is for SSR), but that doesn't work with SPA, and if I have the load function from the layout it's seems not work.
Aditionaly I want to trigger a function from my +page.svelte that is in the layout page.
Any ideas?
here my try
//+layout.svelte
<script>
export function load() {
return {
data: { title: 'default title' }
};
}
export let data;
</script>
//+page.svelte
<script>
export let data;
console.log(data.title); //undefined
</script>
the docs says that don't use: <script context="module">, and I don't want to use the store becouse I think that sholud be a better way.
Load functions belong in the accompanying files +layout.js/ts, not on the page. They also do not return a property data, everything returned is the data. See the docs.
If SSR is disabled, you can event return a store that could be modified from the page.
To get a store from the data so it can be used with $-syntax, the data property can be destructured on the page:
export let data;
$: ({ title } = data);
You could also create a store and set it as a context in the layout. Pages then can get said context and interact with it. This allows two-way interaction.
Using a store is necessary if the contents require reactivity (i.e. are changed) and the page or layout needs to update.

Solution for SAPUI5 error message because of templateShareable:true?

Since an upgrade of SAPUI5 1.28.20 I receive the following error message:
A shared template must be marked with templateShareable:true in the
binding info
Code is in MangedObject.js and looks like this:
} else if ( oBindingInfo.templateShareable === MAYBE_SHAREABLE_OR_NOT ) {
// a 'clone' operation implies sharing the template (if templateShareable is not set to false)
oBindingInfo.templateShareable = oCloneBindingInfo.templateShareable = true;
jQuery.sap.log.error("A shared template must be marked with templateShareable:true in the binding info");
}
Value of oBindingInfo.templateShareable is true, value of MAYBE_SHAREABLE_OR_NOT is 1.
According to documentation the default of oBindingInfo.templateShareable is true.
So what is wrong here? A bug in the library? Or something with my code?
See also: https://sapui5.netweaver.ondemand.com/sdk/#docs/api/symbols/sap.ui.base.ManagedObject.html
Update for SAPUI5 version 1.32.x
With version 1.32.x the message has changed it is now:
A template was reused in a binding, but was already marked as
candidate for destroy. You better should declare such a usage with
templateShareable:true in the binding configuration. -
but according to the documentation the default should still be true:
{boolean} oBindingInfo.templateShareable?, Default: true option to
enable that the template will be shared which means that it won't be
destroyed or cloned automatically
Now it looks like, that this produces some endless loading, I got this message again and again till the browser crashes.
Anyone an idea what could be wrong?
Looks like the message occurs if the template was instantiated outside the binding. Example:
This code will work:
new sap.m.Select({
items : {
path : "/Items",
template : new sap.ui.core.Item({
text : "{Name}"
})
}
})
This code seems to produce the message:
var oTemplate = new sap.ui.core.Item({
text : "{Name}"
})
new sap.m.Select({
items : {
path : "/Items",
template :oTemplate
}
})
This seems to fix the problem:
var oTemplate = new sap.ui.core.Item({
text : "{Name}"
})
new sap.m.Select({
items : {
path : "/Items",
template :oTemplate,
templateShareable : true
}
})
The answer above marked as being correct is actually not correct at all because this here is wrong:
Looks like the message occurs if the template was instantiated outside
the binding. [...] This code seems to produce the message: [...]
To prove the answer above os wrong on your own just run this example (SAPUI5 1.28.20 has the same result):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>SAPUI5 single file template | nabisoft</title>
<script

data-sap-ui-theme="sap_bluecrystal"
data-sap-ui-libs="sap.m"
data-sap-ui-compatVersion="edge"
data-sap-ui-preload="async"></script>
<!-- use "sync" or change the code below if you have issues -->
<script>
sap.ui.getCore().attachInit(function () {
"use strict";
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel({
Items: [
{Name: "Michael"},
{Name: "John"},
{Name: "Frank"},
{Name: "Jane"}
]
});
sap.ui.getCore().setModel(oModel);
var oTemplate = new sap.ui.core.Item({
text : "{Name}"
});
new sap.m.Select({
items : {
path : "/Items",
template : oTemplate
}
}).placeAt("content");
});
</script>
</head>
<body class="sapUiBody">
<div id="content"></div>
</body>
</html>
Basically, a clear definition of the lifecycle for templates is (or was) missing in UI5. When this issue was detected there were already many older apps around... So now this new "feature" was introduced somewhen last year (which is kind of backwards compatible). UI5 tries to detect automatically the developer's intention about the lifecycle of a given template used in the binding (using some heuristic). If UI5 cannot clearly tell what the developer actually wanted then you will see this error log - which actually does not affect the functionality at all. It just tells the developer that there is a template somewhere which will not be destroyed by the UI5 runtime. In other words, if you set templateShareable=true then you should make sure to destroy the template in order to avoid memory leaks. So just setting templateShareable=true is not the whole story...
I have published a detailed blog about this: Understanding templateShareable in SAPUI5

Template empty initially but renders properly on changing and coming back to route

I have a template named profile which contains three other templates. One of these templates is {{> postlist}}
and the helper function for this template is
Template.postlist.helpers({
posts: function() {
return Posts.find({rph: {$in : postsArr}});
}
});
The problem is on going to the route, postlist template is empty, since postsArr is calculated later after the dom has loaded on the basis of other two templates. But, if I click on other route and come back to this route, the template renders properly.
What should I do that template renders properly initially itself?
The easiest way would be to us Session, though it's probably the worst option:
Template.postlist.helpers({
posts: function() {
return Posts.find({rph: {$in : Session.get('postsArr') }});
}
});
If you now call Session.set('postArr', ...) anywhere in your code the posts helper will update automatically. The second option is to use a shared reactive variable:
var postsArr = new ReactiveVar();
and then inside your helper:
return Posts.find({rph: {$in : posts.Arr.get() }});
Now you can do postsArr.set(...) and everything should work fine. Just remember to meteor add reactive-var do your project.
One last doubt is: where to put that reactive variable declaration? In most cases you can do away with putting in a single "controller" file. It will work as long as:
- you only have one instance of your template a time
- the code which sets ad gets the value of you reactive variable may be put in the same file
If one of the above conditions does not hold, then the only option to go, which is BTW the best possible, is to put your state variable in your template's scope. This is how you do it:
Template.postsList.created = function () {
this.postsArr = new ReactiveVar();
};
Template.postlist.helpers({
posts: function() {
return Posts.find({rph: {$in : Template.instance().postsArr.get() }});
}
});
From helpers you can always access postsArr using the Template.instance() routine which always return the current template instance, for which the helper was called. From event handlers, note that the second argument of your handler is always the template instance, which you're interested in.
If you need to access it from another templates, then you should probably put your state variable on the corresponding route controller. Assuming you're using iron-router, that would be:
Iron.controller().state.get('postsArr');
The Iron.controller routine grants you access to the current route controller. Read this for more details.

Meteor - TRIPLE template tag is not allowed in an HTML attribute error

I got error message when trying to run existing meteor project.
$meteor
=> Started proxy.
=> Started MongoDB.
=> Errors prevented startup:
While building the application:
client/coinmx.html:169: TRIPLE template tag is not allowed in an HTML attribute
...title="Totals: {{{get...
^
In Meteor 0.8, it's possible to return a Javascript object which is directly rendered into HTML attributes versus earlier versions, where you had to render it yourself.
Old version:
<input name={{name}} title={{title}}>
helpers:
Template.foo.name = "fooName";
Template.foo.title = "fooTitle";
New version:
<input {{attributes}}>
helpers:
Template.foo.attributes = {
name: "fooName",
title: "fooTitle"
};
All of these can be functions, and reactive, etc. Because the object is rendered directly into attributes, there is no need for you to SafeString some manually rendered content as before. This is the recommended way to go if need to render HTML attributes.
See also the following for how conditional attributes work under this scheme:
https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Using-Blaze#conditional-attributes-with-no-value-eg-checked-selected
The error is pretty much explanatory: you cannot use {{{something}}} inside a HTML attribute, you need to use {{something}} instead. Depending on what the something is (it's not known from your question as you didn't provide the code), that's either all you need to do, or you can achieve similar functionality by returning new Handlebars.SafeString("result") from your helper instead of just "result". However, if you do, you need to be super sure that the thing you'll return won't break the HTML structure.
Hugo's answer above gave me the missing piece I needed for the same issue-- triple stashes in 0.8 no longer supported. Here is an example that hopefully helps.
Where you might have had {{{resolve}}} in your template, you would now do:
<template name='thing'>
<ol>
{{#each all}}
{{resolve}}
{{/each}}
</ol>
<template>
The helper code then makes use of Spacebars.SafeString which looks to be preferred with Blaze:
Template.thing.helpers({
all: function () {
return Things.find();
},
resolve: function () {
var result = "<li>";
for (var i = 0; i < this.arrayOfClassNames.length; ++i)
result += <'div class='" + this.arrayOfClassNames[i] + "'></div>";
result += "</li>";
return new Spacebars.SafeString(result);
}
});
The key here is to return the 'new Spacebars.SafeString(result)' to wrap your HTML (which must be well formed).

How to debug template in Meteor/handlebars?

According to this blog post, I should register a helper to better debug handlebars templates, but is not working:
ReferenceError: Handlebars is not defined
So, how can I {{debug}} in Meteor/handlebars?
This is the helper function I use for debugging in my own projects:
Template.registerHelper("debug", function(optionalValue) {
console.log("Current Context");
console.log("====================");
console.log(this);
if (optionalValue) {
console.log("Value");
console.log("====================");
console.log(optionalValue);
}
});
You can then call it in your templates with {{debug}} and it displays the context you are currently in. Read more at http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/template_registerhelper.
In Meteor 0.4.0 you register handlers like this:
Template.myTemplate.helpers({
helper: function () {
// some code here
console.log(arguments);
}
});
There is no need to call Handlebars directly.
Make sure that you register your helper in client (or shared) meteor code.
Handlebars.registerHelper('helper', function() {
// Do stuff
});
This should be callable via {{helper}} in your templates.
For the sake of completeness: you can also use
Template.registerHelper('helper', helperFunc);
instead of Handlebars.regsterHelper('h',f);
A small reason this is better is that then your app won't need that much refactoring if you decide somewhere down the road that you want to use something else instead of Handlebars(i.e. Spacebars, the real name of meteors adaption) like jade for meteor.
This is really a comment to the accepted answer. Looking forward to one day hit 50 rep.
