I have created a very simple front end to display the borrower name. I deployed the contract Borrower on Rinkeby. I can run the application if I access the variable borrowerName using the following .js code:

import { Template } from 'meteor/templating';
import { ReactiveVar } from 'meteor/reactive-var';

import './main.html';

contractAddress = "0x7f3bdc7f93b0dfc1939669d35922d65bbc5953e4"

ABIArray = [
    {
        "constant": true,
        "inputs": [],
        "name": "getThisBalance",
        "outputs": [
            {
                "name": "",
                "type": "uint256"
            }
        ],
        "payable": false,
        "stateMutability": "view",
        "type": "function"
    },
    {
        "constant": true,
        "inputs": [],
        "name": "getName",
        "outputs": [
            {
                "name": "",
                "type": "string"
            }
        ],
        "payable": false,
        "stateMutability": "view",
        "type": "function"
    },
    {
        "constant": true,
        "inputs": [],
        "name": "borrowerName",
        "outputs": [
            {
                "name": "",
                "type": "string"
            }
        ],
        "payable": false,
        "stateMutability": "view",
        "type": "function"
    },
    {
        "inputs": [
            {
                "name": "_borrowerName",
                "type": "string"
            }
        ],
        "payable": false,
        "stateMutability": "nonpayable",
        "type": "constructor"
    }
]

Template.hello.onCreated(function helloOnCreated() {
  // counter starts at 0
  this.displayName = new ReactiveVar(0);
});


Template.hello.helpers({
  displayName() {
    var template = Template.instance();

    myContract = web3.eth.contract(ABIArray).at(contractAddress);

    myContract.borrowerName(function(err, res){
        TemplateVar.set(template, "displayName", res)
    });
  },
});

but if I replace borrowerName the variable with getName the function, it fails. The HTML code is as follows:

<template name="hello">
  <button>Click Me</button>
  <p>Borrower Name {{displayName}} {{TemplateVar.get "displayName"}} </p>
</template>

I assume it is something simple I am missing but I would appreciate any help Thanks.

So I solved it. Quite simple actually once I figured it out... I simply needed to change the Java Script helper code as follows:

Template.hello.helpers({
  displayName() {
    var template = Template.instance();

    myContract = web3.eth.contract(ABIArray).at(contractAddress);

    myContract.getName(function(err, res){
        TemplateVar.set(template, "getName", res)
    });
  },
});

and the HTML code as follows:

<template name="hello">
  <button>Click Me</button>
  <p>The name of the borrower is {{displayName}} {{TemplateVar.get "getName"}} </p>
</template>

The problem was with the get and set functions. I needed to reference the function getName.
