Template onload event for meteor.js

Question

I know meteor exposes events such as \"click\", for DOM element but I\'m wondering if there\'s a load event that\'s fired when a template or partial is loaded? How would I a

Answer 1

I'd recommend this rather than the accepted answer, slightly less gross IMHO:

Template.temp.aReactiveHelper = function() {
  var someValue = Session.get('someValue');
  invokeAfterLoad();
  return someValue;
};

var invokeAfterLoad = function () {
  Meteor.defer(function () {
     $('mydiv').doSomething();
  });
};

The assumption is that you want to invoke something after the template loads because it's reacting to a reactive object.

The benefit here is you're not adding animation code to your template.
