Blaze AC Step 1.js

// Lets say we have some view called CommentSubmitComponent
// This view will make many things happen. Its job is to send off 
// actions from the view and process something.

// Lets make an Action Creator
let CommentSubmitActions = new ZenAction();

// So yeah yeah this is just a plain object at this point. But even so, you have a
// logical place to attach functionality
_.extend(CommentSubmitActions, {
  fetchData(collection, query, options) {
   // Do something here
  },
  submitComment(options, cb) {
    return Meteor.call('submitComment', options, cb);
  },
  manipulateDOM(template) {
   // manipulate some dom
   $(template.find('.some-selector')).animate({right: -20px});
  }
  changeTemplateState(reactiveVar, update) {
    var currentVal = reactiveVar.get();
    if (!_.isEmpty(currentVal)) {
      reactiveVar.set(update);
    }
  }   
});

// So now I have a bunch of functions that take some params and do some actions.

Template.CommentSubmitComponent.events({
  'click .button-red': function (event, template) {
    // change some state
    CommentSubmitActions.changeTemplateState(template.followers, template.data.newFollowers);
    CommentSubmitActions.manipulateDOM(template);
    CommentSubmitActions.submitComment(template.data.commentData, commentCallback);
  }
});
