  1. POhow to properly bind jquery ui behaviors in meteor?
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to create a group of draggable DOM objects using jQuery UI's <code>.draggable()</code> that are populated through Meteor subscriptions. The code I came up with looks like</p> <pre><code>Meteor.subscribe('those_absent', function() { $( "li.ui-draggable" ).draggable( { revert: "invalid" } ); }); Meteor.subscribe('those_present', function() { $( "li.ui-draggable" ).draggable( { revert: "invalid" } ); }); </code></pre> <p>These correspond with some <code>Meteor.publish()</code> calls, so that any time the collection changes, the <code>.draggable()</code> behaviour will be attached. At least, that was my intention.</p> <p>However, it only works once - once one of these <code>&lt;li&gt;</code>'s has been dragged and dropped, then they are no longer draggable at all.</p> <p>When the objects are dropped, I'm firing a custom event that is attached to the <code>Template</code> for the item like so</p> <pre><code> $( "#c_absent .inner-drop" ).droppable({ drop: function( event, ui ) { ui.draggable.trigger('inout.leave'); } }); Template.loftie_detail.events = { 'inout.leave': function (e) { Lofties.update({_id:this._id}, {$set: {present: 'N' }}); } }; </code></pre> <p>So, my thinking is that this change to the collection on drop should propagate through the pub/sub process and re-run the <code>.draggable()</code> line above. But it doesn't seem to.</p> <p>The complete code for this can be seen here <a href="https://github.com/sbeam/in-out/blob/master/client/inout.js">https://github.com/sbeam/in-out/blob/master/client/inout.js</a> and the app is live at <a href="http://inout.meteor.com/">http://inout.meteor.com/</a> (there are some other probably unrelated issues with items randomly losing values or disappearing from the UI altogether)</p> <p>So if my understanding of how pub/sub works in Meteor is off, it would be good to know. Or is there a more efficient way to achieve this UI behavior binding that works without it?</p>
