What's the best way to handle a switch case in a template (eg: a button with 4 possible states)? It seems wrong to pull the html out into a helper, but it feels just as bad to put the logic into the template... Edit: As you can see, putting the html in a helper is far from ideal, but changing a class, a tag-name, properties, and content, would make the template wholly unreadable. <pre><code>Template.nextMeetup.helpers({ rsvpButton: function(rsvp) { var button; switch(rsvp){ case 'yes': button = '<a ' + this.event_url + 'class="rsvp btn btn-success pull-right" title="visit event page" target="_blank"> I\'m Attending</a>'; break; case 'maybe': button = '<a ' + this.event_url + 'class="rsvp btn btn-warning pull-right" title="visit event page" target="_blank"> I might go</a>'; break; case 'no': button = '<a ' + this.event_url + 'class="rsvp btn btn-danger pull-right" title="visit event page" target="_blank"> I\'m not going</a>'; break; case 'none': button = '<a ' + this.event_url + 'class="rsvp btn btn-inverse pull-right" title="visit event page" target="_blank"> I havn\'t decided</a>'; break; default: button = '<button class="rsvp signIn btn btn-disabled pull-right">Sign in to RSVP</button>'; } return new Handlebars.SafeString(button); } }); </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
