A tutorial for the useful forms package

forms-tutorial's Issues

Create the tutorial

We want to build a tutorial using this: http://info.meteor.com/blog/step-by-step-tutorials-with-git

Here are the steps that we're going to build:

1. Create a meteor app and add the useful:forms package, and any other packages we need for the tutorial (split into steps 1.1 and 1.2, 1.3 etc.)
2. Create a simple form which captures a task, and comments (two fields, to sub-steps)
3. Create a simple ui to display the tasks, and allow users to edit a task by selecting it
4. Create a custom date input and allow users to specify a due date for tasks
5. Update form to auto-save

Each of the above should be a step in the tutorial, so we can generate the snippets for the tutorial.

Take advantage of the data context

In the event handler 'click .collection-item': function (e, tmpl) { you are pulling data out of the DOM, and also injecting the _id of the document into the DOM using a hidden form field.

This is not the meteor way. Check out the data context for the event handler by placing a debugger statement at the top of the event handler and inspect the this object. Adjust the event handler accordingly.
