Question

I have some code similar to the following:

In myapp.html

<template name="problems">
    <div class="problems">
        {{#each problems}}
            {{> problem}}
    {{/each}}
    </div>
</template

<template name="problem">
    <div class="problem">
        <div class="problem-text" id={{_id}}>{{text}}</div>
    </div>
</template> 

In myapp.js

Template.problem.events = {
'click .problem-text' : function () {

        var user_id = Session.get('user_id');

        // how to get problem_id of clicked item?
        Router.gotoProblem(user_id, problem_id);    
    }
};

In this situation I want to get the id of the that matched .problem-text and was clicked.

I would like to know the “object” that generated the event? How do I do this?

Try this:

Template.problem.events = {
'click .problem-text' : function () {

        var user_id = Session.get('user_id');

        // how to get problem_id of clicked item?
        Router.gotoProblem(user_id, this._id);    
    }
};
