[SOLVED] Meteor: Creating a single CMS form

Meteor: Creating a single CMS form

So I am having difficulty creating a single form that, when updated, updates HTML text.

For example, on page 1 of my site, there is a form with the words TITLE written in it. Now on page 2 the only words on the page are TITLE. Now I want to be able to update that form to now say TITLE 2 and have is update page 2 instantly.

I want to make lots of these forms so what is the way to do this with the least amount of code?

Solution

If your form and the element showing your text are in different template, you have to use Session.

In your first template (page 1): Attach an event to your input so when you type text you update the Session variable.

In your second template (page 2): Use a simple helper returning the value of the Session variable

Here's the code:

<template name="page1">
    <input type="text" class="js-change-text">
</template>

Template.page1.events({
    "keyup .js-change-text"(event, instance) {
        let inputValue = event.target.value);
        Session.set('inputValue', inputValue);
    },
});

<template name="page2">
    <h1>{{getInputValue}}</h1>
</template>

Template.page2.helpers({
    getInputValue() {
        return Session.get('inputValue');
    },
});
