Meteor: How to access Template's Instance key in Blaze directly (without helper)?

Template.Demo.onCreated(function() {
    this.test = 'Text';
});

How to access that template's instance test key in Blaze directly (without creating a helper function)?

{{Template.instance.test}} seems not to work (it was suggested here).

Solution

  • I don't believe this is possible with current versions of Blaze. That being said, you can simulate this by declaring a single global Template helper function, like:

    Template.registerHelper('instance', function () {
  return Template.instance();
});

    Just define this once in a common client location, and you can then reference instance in any of your Template's. So you could reference your test variable like:

    {{instance.test}}
