Do you know about 'this' inside helpers & events?

[comerc]

template(name='main')
  +test(a=1)

template(name="test")
  = test
  = a
  = b
  = c
  button#test test

Template.test.onCreated ->
  Template.currentData().b = 2

Template.test.helpers
  test: ->
    @.c = 3
    console.log '@ inside helper', @ # {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}

Template.test.events
  'click #test': ->
    console.log '@ inside event', @ # {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}

It is simple vs Template.instance().viewmodel.myValue().

I propose to implement two way binding via this feature.

Template.test.onCreated ->
  Template.currentData().b = 2

It is wrong way, because on next call of +test(a=1) current data will be rewrited.

Workaround. I use "init" helper:

Template.test.helpers
  init: ->
    @.b = 2
  # ...

template(name="test")
  = init
  // ...

Sometimes you need to get your hands dirty and add an event listener. You can do so with the event property. The context (this) is the current view model.

It is solution for true 'this' inside events (and helpers).
