Are Components Reactive?

[zyonnetworks]

The data results isn't updating when using a reactive helper. Should this update the results reactively OR do i need to add a config option OR is this not supported?

/index.js

Template.templateName.onRendered(function() {
    this.autorun(function() {
            reactiveIndex.set(someIndex);
    }
})
Template.templateName.helpers({
currentIndex() {
    return reactiveIndex.get();
}
});

/index.html

{{#EasySearch.Each index=currentIndex}}
    <li>{{this}}</lI>
{{/EasySearch.Each}}

i actually got this to work by making some really minor updates to BaseComponent and getCursor()

What did you patch in there?

/packages/easysearch:components/lib/base.js

onCreated() {

        this.autorun(function() { // added autorun
            let index = this.getData().index,
                indexes = [index];
            ...
        } // added autorun
}

/packages/easysearch:components/lib/component-methods.js line 23

options = dict.get('searchOptions') || {}, //added || {}

Is there a way to have the pagination component and pagination page reactive? Removing Items from the Collection wont update the page correctly. Adding new items to the Collection wont update the Pagination count.

Any help would be really great!

Could you please create a new issue with reproduction steps? A reproduction repository will make it even easier to find the bug and fix it.
