onClick is used before actual click

[chompomonim]

template(name="hello")
  a(href="/hello" onClick=onClick) Click me

class Hello extends BlazeComponent
  @register 'hello'

  onClick: (event) ->
    console.log 'Hello!'
    event.preventDefault()

Refresh the page (no clicks) and in console I can see:

> Hello!
> Exception in template helper: TypeError: Cannot read property 'preventDefault' of undefined

Don't you need to use the event map? I don't think you can bind events like that.

This works only with HTML templates. Jade has not been ported to them. Something like the following has to be done:

Yes you can with recent version of Blaze Components.
