SmartQuery

Getting rid of publish() and subscribe()

Usage

Just call SmartQuery.create() inside a regular template helper. For example:

1Template.posts.helpers({
2  posts: function () {
3    var cursor = Posts.find({}, {limit: Session.get("postsLimit")});
4    return SmartQuery.create("posts", cursor);
5  }
6}

SmartQuery.create(id, cursor)

• id: a unique id for this particular SmartQuery.
• cursor: the cursor you want to use (e.g. Posts.find({}, {limit: 5})).

Returns an object with the following properties:

• subscription: the subscription created for this SmartQuery.
• cursor: the cursor you passed to the SmartQuery.
• isReady(): (function) whether the subscription is ready (Boolean).
• count(): (function) returns a count of the cursor.
• totalCount(): (function) returns the total count for the cursor on the server (without a limit).
• hasMore(): (function) whether there are more documents on the server (Boolean).
