Get template variable inside onRendered in Meteor

I have a template settings in which I have an autoform.

I add a hook to my autoform inside the onRendered function

Template.settings.onRendered( () => {
  AutoForm.addHooks( 'editForm', {
    onSuccess: function( formType, result ) {
      //
    }
  } );
} );

How can I, inside my onSuccess get a variable populated in the template through Template.settings.helpers?

I have tried Template.instance().variableName, but it cannot be found.

From the Meteor docs:

In the body of a callback, this is a template instance object that is unique to this occurrence of the template and persists across re-renderings. Use the onCreated and onDestroyed callbacks to perform initialization or clean-up on the object.

http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/template_onRendered

But I think you need to make use of function instead of an ES2015 arrow function or this won't be as expected.

Also, you would need to add the line: const self = this; And then use self if you want to access it within the Autoform function.
