Inspector for Blaze templates

Overview:

The Meteor Template Inspector is an inspector tool for Blaze templates. It allows users to quickly and easily view data, instance variables, helpers, and events for their templates. With a simple click, users can navigate a visual file-tree for templates, allowing for easy understanding of nested templates. However, currently, calling helpers relying on Template.instance() from outside the template itself is not possible.

Features:

  • File-tree Visualization: Easily navigate and understand nested templates with a click, thanks to the visual file-tree feature.
  • Data and Instance Variables: View and analyze the data and instance variables associated with your templates.
  • Helpers and Events: Get a clear overview of the helpers and events being used in your templates.

Summary:

The Meteor Template Inspector is a useful tool for Blaze template developers. It provides an easy way to inspect and understand the structure and functionality of templates. With features like file-tree visualization and the ability to view data, instance variables, helpers, and events, developers can quickly identify and troubleshoot issues in their templates. Although there is currently a limitation in calling helpers relying on Template.instance() from outside the template, the Meteor Template Inspector still offers valuable insights into template development.
