meteor : comparing in template #if parties.owner == currentUserId?

I very new to meteor I'm adding the update feature to the parties demo I now would like to only show the "Modify" button to the party's owner I tried 

{{# with party}}
{{#if owner currentUser }}
    <br/><input type="button" value="Modifier" class="btn btn-small edit">
    {{/if}

but offcourse this is not the right way to do it I can't find how to access the user object in the template to compare it

please help

You always have access to the Template object instance with this (a party instance in this example) inside the helper methods:

Template.details.isOwner = function() {
    return this.owner === Meteor.userId();
};

{{#if isOwner}}
    <br/><input type="button" value="Modifier" class="btn btn-small edit">
{{/if}}

(It's very similar to the canRemove helper that's already in the Parties example.)
