"For" loop with meteor

Question

I'm new to meteor, my question is like this. I want to make a select with option lists like:

 <ul id="collapseFour" class="collapse">                        
    <select id="uhd">                            
       {{#each uhdNum}}
          <option>{{number}}</option>
       {{/each}}
    </select>                        
 </ul>

I know that I can do it by helpers, but I don't know how to do it. Instead of number there must be 1,2,3,4 up to 50. I created helper file

UHDResults = new Meteor.Collection('uhdResults');
Template.adminLayout.helpers({
  uhdNum: function() {
  var number;
  for(var i=0;i<49;i++){
    number[i] = i;
  }
  return number;
}  
});

But there are no effect. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Answer 1

Inside the #each block, replace <option>{{number}}</option> with <option>{{this}}</option>.

In your js file, number should be defined as an array like so:

var number = [];

Everything else should work. If there is still problems, replace:

number[i] = i;

with

number.push(i);
