iron-router template data in rendered callback

I'm passing a data object to a template with iron-router but would like to access the data within the Template.name.rendered = function() { ... } callback.

From Meteor data-context with iron-router I've tried UI.getData() but receive an error There is no current view. Using this.data returns null.

How can I get access to the data object passed to the template from the rendered callback?

Solution

  • You were on the right track with looking for the data context, but this is actually how you get access to it:

    var ctx = Template.currentData();

    Also, I believe Template.x.rendered is about to be deprecated, so if that doesn't work, try using 

    Template.x.onRendered(function() { 
  var ctx = Template.currentData();
  console.log(ctx);
});
