Meteor how to create global event?

Question

How can I create a event which will run on any page?

When creating a helper on the main layout template it doesn't work.

Template.layout.events
  'click': ->
    console.log "you clicked on the site"

Answer 1

you need a special package to create a global event.

install

meteor add gwendall:body-events

and you can use the events from Template.body.events in every template

example

Template.body.events({
   'click .myClass':function(){
       alert("BODY EVENT");
   }
});

or if you like the new syntax

Template.body.events({
   'click .myClass'(){
       alert("BODY EVENT");
   }
});
