Simple Clock In Meteor.js Or How To Reload Templates?

I'm trying with Templates in meteor.js, but how can I reload them after a given time? For example I want to have a Template called 'time' which has to reload every second to show t

Solution 1:

The simplest way to reload a template is to provide and change a reactive data source. In your case, this could be the clock value.

var clock = new ReactiveVar(new Date());

Template.time.onCreated(function() {
  Meteor.setInterval(function() {
    clock.set(new Date());
  }, 1000);
});

Template.time.helpers({
  clock: function() {
    var currentTime = clock.get();
    ... 
  },
});
