Why Client Side Templates need to be available

[SantoshSrinivas79]

@arunoda I haven't looked at the code yet, but I was reading the description. I was wondering why we cannot keep everything server side.

Basically my use case is:

1) Create server side handlebar templates for sending emails 2) Render the templates on the server side using data that is relevant to the particular user 3) Send the emails on the server side with appropriate rendering and logging

Does this seem like a use case that can be solved using srr?

Thank you.

Of course yes. This is exact what ssr can be used. You can use blaze instead of plain handlebars. For now you need to define your template on the client (just only to get it compiled) But very soon, you'd able to load it via assets.

:+1: for this, no point in putting email only templates on the client. Naturally its already on your todo list, thanks as always @arunoda

BTW: Now I've added an feature for that. See: https://github.com/meteorhacks/meteor-ssr#ssrcompiletemplatetemplatename-stringtemplatecontent

Now we can't load client side templates at all :)
