Scroll event for Meteor

Question

I couldn\'t find a scroll event for meteor in the meteor docs. How do I go about doing something as someone scrolls the window down in a meteor application?

I've been messing around with this as well.

I haven't found a way to do it cleanly within Template.template.events.

The obvious temporary solution right now would be using a simple jQuery scroll event.

$(window).scroll(function(){//your code}); should do the trick.

Things I was trying to use as the selector but to no avail were:

'scroll *'

'scroll body'

'scroll document'

and naturally

'scroll window'

I tried all of these selectors inside of a generic template's events, along with on UI.body's events, as that's the new blaze template that encompasses the page's body.

To reiterate: You're probably better off using jQuery for the time being.
