14. Reactive Programming
Reactive programming consists 2 basic parts
• Reactive data source
• Reactive computation
– A block of code contains reactive data sources
Anytime data changes,
reactive computation is automatically re-run.
15. Live View Updates
Template.hello.greeting = function() {
return Session.get(‘greeting’);
};
When changing Session value,
view updates immediately
