Access to "view" about meteor-blaze-components HOT 11 CLOSED

Care to explain why you need access to view? I hopped I already abstracted all use cases away. :-) And that you would not have to think about template instances and views at all anymore.

from meteor-blaze-components.

Sure, it's because of the Blaze.remove() as mentioned here #36 . I wanted to be helpfull and group some feedback in the Q&A thread, but as I respond now I guess it's making a bit of a mess of the issues :).

So plz remove if needed.

from meteor-blaze-components.

I still do not get you. You render manually and you cannot keep the view object around, so you would like to be able to get it yourself from the component later on again?

from meteor-blaze-components.

Yes, but just to be able to pass it on to Blaze.remove(). I use componentChildren() to find out all existing "panels" inside a viewstack component of mine. Having the component works, than just need to get the view of that component to be able to remove it once I click a "close" like button from within that panel.

Hm, should this be BlazeComponent.remove(componentInstance) or componentInstance.remove()? :-)

from meteor-blaze-components.

instance.remove() has a nice feel to it. Makes more sense to me than BlazeComponent.remove() which only has going for it that it matches Blaze, but Blaze has no (apparent) parent/child relationships to factor in (as far as I know). Calling remove on the parent is more specific.

from meteor-blaze-components.

On reading it again, I didn't get your comment correctly. There is one more (which I thought you meant):

• calling parentInstance.remove(childInstance);

from meteor-blaze-components.

Yes. I thought more like instance.removeItself().

Good idea to remove children.

from meteor-blaze-components.

But probably it is better to remove itself, because you can always first access the child though componentChildren. Otherwise one cannot remove the root itself.

from meteor-blaze-components.

true. sounds good!

from meteor-blaze-components.

Implemented as instance.removeComponent().
