Fetcher

Fetcher is designed to make retrieving data through Method's really easy. It will run Meteor.call() for you, then deposit the result into a reactive dictionary. Just like a Session variable, you can use that data anywhere in your application, and it persists through hot reloads.

API

Fetcher relies on Meteor.call() to retrieve data from Methods, and Reactive-Dict to return reactive data to Blaze or wherever you may need it.

1// get data from server
2// params are for the method call
3Fetcher.retrieve("taco", "methodName", param1, param2, param3, etc)
4
5// return data
6Fetcher.get("taco")
7
8// modify the data
9Fetcher.set("taco", {'cheese' : 'yes please'})  
10
11// re-run method and update data
12Fetcher.refresh("taco")
