"Enhancing User Experience with Dynamic Bootbox Modals on Meteor Platform

I am currently working on developing a simple application that dynamically displays thumbnails and connects a generated modal to each one upon clicking. I am facing difficulty in integrating data from my mongo db into the bootbox alert. Although I understand that I need to execute the query again, I am unsure about how to fetch the fields for that particular entry.

Below is the HTML template:

<template name="gallery">
    <div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-6 col-md-2">
      <a href="#" class="thumbnail" data-toggle="#">
        <img src="{{img}}" alt="...">
          <div class="caption">
            <h5><center>{{name}}</center></h5>
          </div>
      </a>
    </div>
</template>

and here's the js.

Gallerys = new Mongo.Collection("gallerys");

if (Meteor.isClient) {
  // This code only runs on the client
  Template.body.helpers({
    gallerys: function () {
      return Gallerys.find({}, {sort: {createdAt : -1}});
    }
  });

  Template.body.events({
    "click a.thumbnail": function(e) {
      bootbox.alert(function(){
        return Gallerys.find();
      };
    }
  });
}

Answer №1

It would be advantageous to eventually transition the entire gallery into its own template and associate the helper functions with that template rather than with body. However, for now, let's address the primary issue at hand. Your body event handler should yield the data context of an individual record, not a cursor. Clicking on the overall gallery should provide you with the context of a specific gallery item, resulting in this pointing to that particular document and this._id representing the _id of said document.

Template.body.events({
  "click a.thumbnail": function(e){
    bootbox.alert(function(){
      return Gallerys.findOne({_id: this._id});
    };
  }
});

I also suspect that you intended to utilize bootbox.dialog instead of merely bootbox.alert.
