Meteor destroy subTemplate

I have a parent template which calls a child template. I want to kill the child template by the press of a button.

Parent Template


    <template name="tracker">
         <span id="destroyChild" class="btn" title="destroyTable"></span>
    
         {{<child}}
    </template>

Then, I have an event to attempt and destroy the child template

'click span[id=destroyChild]'(e, template) {
            //This works to remove the Parent template
            //Blaze.remove(template.view);
 
           Blaze.remove('what do I put here?');
        },

I can't find anything to use as a param to remove the child template. I keep getting Uncaught Error: Expected template rendered with Blaze.render.

I gave the child template an Id and tried calling this with a selector but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks!

You shouldn't imperatively modify your layout. Blaze is a reactive engine, so everything should be decided declaratively, e.g.:

<template name="tracker">
   <span id="destroyChild" class="btn" title="destroyTable"></span>

   {{#if show}}
   {{> child}}
   {{/if}}
</template>

Session.setDefault('show', true);
Template.tracker.helpers({
  show() {
    return Session.get('show');
  }
});

...

  'click span[id=destroyChild]'(e, template) {
     Session.set('show', false);
  },
