Meteor Reactive Methods

Call methods synchronously inside Tracker.autorun.

Install with meteor add simple:reactive-method

Sometimes, you want to call a Meteor method inside of a template helper or Tracker.autorun computation, and get a return value. Now you can!

Before (doesn't work)

1Template.foo.helpers({
2   methodResult: function () {
3       Meteor.call("myMethod", "a", "b", function (err, result) {
4           return result; // this doesn't work!!!
5       });
6   } 
7});

After (works!)

1Template.foo.helpers({
2    methodResult: function () {
3        // Super fun!
4        return ReactiveMethod.call("myMethod", "a", "b");
5    }
6});
