Question

I am using Meteor, Handlebars, and Backbone to create a multipage application. I have a Router set up using backbone which sets a session variable, currentPage. How can I render a different template depending on the value of currentPage?

I was told that I could create a Template helper function that would do this, but I’m not sure how to approach this.

Answer 1

if currentPage is global and pages are stored as strings, then I would expect this to work:

Handlebars.registerHelper('currentPageIs',function(page){
    return currentPage == page;
});

// and in the html:
{{#if currentPageIs '/posts'}}
    {{> posts}}
{{else}}
    {{> homepage}}
{{/if}}
