Data/Document Model for Reading Data from Collection

Once done, you'll want to display data from the collection by adding the following templates into your document model. The class names come from Bootstrap v3.

1<template name="customersListTemplate" class="with-bottom-spacer">
2  <div class="padded">
3    <div class="panel panel-info">
4      <div class="panel-heading">
5          <input id="customerSearchInput"type="text" placeholder="Filter..."></input>
6      </div>
7      <ul class="list-group">
8        {{#each customersList}}
9        {{> customersListItemTemplate }}
10        {{/each}}
11      </ul>
12    </div>
13  </div>
14</template>
15<template name="customersListItemTemplate">
16  <li class="list-group-item">{{FirstName}} {{LastName}}</li>
17</template>

Controller for Reading Data from Collection

To dislay data, you'll also need to add the controllers, like so:

1//-------------------------------------------------------------
2// A.  Generate Index
3Template.customersListTemplate.helpers({
4  customersList = function(){
5    return CustomerAccounts.find({
6        $or: [
7            {'FirstName': { $regex: Session.get('account_search_term'), $options: 'i' }},
8            {'LastName':  { $regex: Session.get('account_search_term'), $options: 'i' }}
9        ]
10    },{limit: 10});
