How to clear a value on page load for derbyjs

Question

Just out of curiosity if I have a chat application with an unread message counter...

How do I reset that counter?

Simply put, when User A writes a message, B increments there unread counter. When B is on the message page, I would like to reset that counter each refresh of the messages (it is running on subscribe).

Any ideas?

Actually it was pretty simple.

You can write the following code in your html:

{{yourMethodName();}}

Then in your server you write some code:

app.proto.yourMethodName = function(){
  //Clear data
  this.model.del("yourdata.count");
  //similar to: this.model.set("yourdata.count",0);
}

Super simple.... Updated based off of Aleksey
