title: Creating active navigation state with Meteor and Iron Router
body: <p>I want to add a class of 'active' to the nav list item that is currently being rendered by Iron Router.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my markup:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      {{#linkTo route="option1"}}
        &lt;span class="fa fa-fw fa-option"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        Option 1
      {{/linkTo}}
    &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;
      {{#linkTo route="option2"}}
        &lt;span class="fa fa-fw fa-option"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        Option 2
      {{/linkTo}}
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've read through the guide and various articles but can't find this covered anywhere. Assuming I'll need some sort of helper?</p>
