user interface - Meteor js templates rendered vs onRendered

Question

After working fine with

Template.name.rendered = function () { ..... }

I changed this to:

Template.name.onRendered(function(){ ..... })

but I don't have the same results and I don't find too much documentation about the differences, some one would help me please? or someone knows where I can see the differences?

Answer 1

In Meteor 1.0.4 rendered got deprecated and replaced by onRendered:

Add onRendered, onCreated, and onDestroyed methods to Template. Assignments to Template.foo.rendered and so forth are deprecated but are still supported for backwards compatibility. Source: History.md

If you see "wrong" behavior when using onRendered please make sure you are using Meteor 1.0.4 or newer.
