In Meteor 0.8, it's possible to return a Javascript object which is directly rendered into HTML attributes versus earlier versions, where you had to render it yourself.
Old version:
<input name={{name}} title={{title}}>
helpers:
Template.foo.name = "fooName";
Template.foo.title = "fooTitle";
New version:
<input {{attributes}}>
helpers:
Template.foo.attributes = {
name: "fooName",
title: "fooTitle"
};
All of these can be functions, and reactive, etc. Because the object is rendered directly into attributes, there is no need for you to SafeString
some manually rendered content as before. This is the recommended way to go if need to render HTML attributes.
