Access variable passed to template from JavaScript in Meteor

Question

I'm passing variables to template:

{{> myTemplate myVariable}}

Inside myTemplate I access it with:

<template name="myTemplate">
  {{this}}
</template>

Where this will be myVariable

How can I access myVariable from the code - onCreated, onRendered, helpers of myTemplate.

Example:

Template.myTemplate.onCreated(function(){
  // How access myVariable here?
});

or

Template.myTemplate.onRendered(function(){
  // How access myVariable here?
});

In the onCreated and onRendered callbacks, this.data points to the passed data:

Template.myTemplate.onCreated(function(){
  console.log(this.data);
});

Template.myTemplate.onRendered(function(){
  console.log(this.data);
});
