When displaying a SELECT tag in Meteor JS with Blaze, remember to apply the class "ian:accounts-ui-bootstrap-3" to the element

Currently, my project is running on Meteor version 1.6.1.1. Instead of using the accounts-ui package, I have opted for ian:accounts-ui-bootstrap-3. As part of customization, I have included a custom field as a <select> element in the code.

Here's how it appears on the screen:

While inspecting the HTML code, I noticed that the attribute class="form-control" is not being added to the select tag.

Displayed below is a snippet from Chrome's element inspection tool:

<li id="login-dropdown-list" class="dropdown">
    <a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">Sign in / Join <b class="caret"></b></a>
    <div class="dropdown-menu">
        <div class="select-dropdown">
            <label>State</label><br>
            <select id="login-state">
            </select>
        </div>
        <button class="btn btn-primary col-xs-12 col-sm-12" id="login-buttons-password" type="button">
            Create
        </button>
        <button id="back-to-login-link" class="btn btn-default col-xs-12 col-sm-12">Cancel</button>
    </div>
</li>

The goal is to dynamically add the class form-control to the select tag when the component loads on the screen, achieving a look similar to the image linked below:

I attempted the following code implementation, but it did not yield the desired outcome:

Template.HomePage.onRendered(function () {
    document.getElementById('login-state').classList.add('form-control');
});

Answer №1

After experimenting, I discovered a method to accomplish this using Template events:

Template.Page.events({
    'click #dropdown-menu': function(event){
        //document.getElementById('menu-state').classList.add('active');
        $('#menu-state').addClass('active');
    }
});

The component is loaded within the div tag with an id="dropdown-menu". By simply adding a class on the click event, I was able to achieve the desired action. The commented code also proved effective.
