Getting form data from action helper

fxv commented 8 years ago

Hi, In the API reference it says:

The Action Function runs when the form is submitted. Data from the form fields is available directly from this.

I'm using space:template-controller where this inside the handlers is always a reference to the Template.instance(). How can I get the form data in this case?

I should have mentioned I can get the data from els from every element. Is that the best solution?
