Timesync.serverTime running each sec in nonReactive mode

[aashuagg]

I want to access server time on client side though only when queried for. So I have a function to get the current server time non-reactively:

getServerTime = function() {
    var serverTime;
    if (!TimeSync.isSynced()) {
        TimeSync.resync();
    } else {
        serverTime = Deps.nonreactive(function() {
            return TimeSync.serverTime();
        })
    }
    return serverTime;
}

It used to work fine in meteor 0.8.3 but now I have upgraded to meteor 1.0 and TimeSync.serverTime runs continuously causing my subscribes to run infinitely.

Does it need some change for meteor 1.0?

I don't understand why your function is so convoluted. Why not just use

TimeSync.serverTime( Date.now() );

This way you reactively depend on whether the time is properly synced, but not the actual value that you're querying for.

will this work with Meteor 0.8.3 as well?

I don't know. I'm not sure which version of this package was the latest on 0.8.3. Why don't you just try it?
