What problem does it solve?

Prevent confusing visual artifacts and template errors in Meteor Blaze HTML templates caused by reactive re-renders, improper helper usage in attributes, and icon element morphing during conditional swaps.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Ensures helper arguments inside HTML attributes use single quotes to avoid parsing issues and broken imports.
• Prevents Font Awesome icon flicker by advising wrapping inline icon elements in container nodes when used inside conditional blocks.
• Guides exclusion of frequently changing fields from cursor queries to stop unnecessary item teardown in each loops and eliminate visual glitches during reactive updates.

Quick Start

Diagnose a Blaze template that briefly shows incorrect icons or blinks during reactive updates by checking helper quoting, wrapping icon elements in spans, and excluding rapidly changing fields from cursor queries.
