Original leaderboard example from the MeteorJS site. It's startling how easy it is to get work done in Meteor; wouldn't be surprised if it's the next de facto Web framework.
The new sort button, sans logic.
<div class="controller">
<button id="sort">Sort by {{sort_order}}</button>
</div>
Template.leaderboard.sort_order = function () {
// Passes a string back to the sort button based on the sort order.
var order = "Score";
if (Session.get("is_name_order")) {
order = "Name";
}
return order;
}; 'click #sort': function () {
// Our button switch
Session.set("is_name_order", !Session.get("is_name_order"));
} Template.leaderboard.players = function () {
// Ended up stealing this bit of code to get me started.
// Here is where we actually change the sort.
var order = Session.get("is_name_order") ?
{name: 1, score: -1} :
{score: -1, name: 1};
return Players.find({}, {sort: order});
};
