What is global object UI in meteor framework and how should it be utilised?

Question

A console.log(UI) will produce the following result Object {_DOMBackend: Object, _EventSupport: Object, _throwNextException: false, currentView: null, _globalHelpers: Object…} It seems there is a lack of documentation out there, would someone kindly share more information on this?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It's not documented because it's been deprecated a while ago.

UI used to contain several functions that were moved to the Template namespace, ie UI.registerHelper is now Template.registerHelper.

You can just ignore it, as it will be eventually removed in future versions of Meteor.
