While writing a custom template, I discovered that events from the topmost element in the template are not caught by template.events which is a strange but workable issue in Meteor. Just wrap the whole body within a dummy div as shown: <template name="sometemplate"> <div> <div class="eventSource"> ... </div> </div> </template> Template.sometemplate.events({ 'click .eventSource': function(event, template) { ... } });

While developing a Gig creation form for Zoomout, using meteor-autoform and select2, I realized that search and add feature for adding artists to a Gig would be a problem. Select2 supports AJAX datasource for generating options based on user input, but till version 3.5 it depended on the use of a hidden input field for adding new options on the fly. The autoform-select2 package, although a great tool, did not yet offer support for hidden input fields.  #14  from the autoform-select2 issues describes this problem. Select2 recently released  4.0.0-rc.1 which thankfully removes the need for a hidden input field, but the meteor-select2 package, on which the autoform-select2 package depends, still uses 3.5.1 of select2. So till meteor-select2 releases with an upgraded version of select2, which may happen when select2 makes a stable 4.0.0 release, follow these steps to make use of an AJAX datasource in your meter autofroms: git clone https://github.com/abhishekbatra/mete...
