Template does not reflect changes made to filters in real-time

I've been working on filtering my "PriceList" collection and sorting is functioning perfectly. However, I'm experiencing some issues with implementing filters and search functionality. When I click on custom filter buttons, the template doesn't update dynamically. Oddly enough, when I proceed to do sorting afterwards, the template gets updated. Can anyone point out where I might be going wrong? Below are the relevant files, please let me know if more information is needed.

price_list.js

PriceListFilter = new Meteor.FilterCollections(PriceList, {
  name: "PriceListFC",
  template: 'price_list',
  filters: {
    "trip": {
      title: 'Trip Types',
      operator: ['$regex', 'i'],
      condition: '$and',
      searchable: 'optional',
    },
  }, 
  sort:{
    order: ['desc', 'asc'],
    amount0: ['desc', 'asc'],
    amount1: ['desc', 'asc'],
    amount2: ['desc', 'asc'],
    amount3: ['desc', 'asc'],
    amount4: ['desc', 'asc'],
  },
});

price_list.html

<template name="price_list">

Answer №1

If you aren't utilizing both fcPager and fcSort in your template, there may be a problem with how the template helper dependencies are invalidated when the data changes. This could be related to a quirk in the initialization of Dependency within filter-collections.

To address this issue, consider adding a paginator to your template. Alternatively, you can experiment with overriding the template listeners and manually forcing invalidation using changed()
