Handlebars Kit

This is a fork of the handlebars-helpers created by Jon Schlinkert.

Motivations for forking

To minimise the number of dependencies, reducing the maintenance effort
To remove potentially risky helpers (such as any that interact with the file system)
To increase the number of test cases and resulting test coverage

You might also be interested in template-helpers.

About

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm i handlebars-kit

Install with yarn:

$ yarn add handlebars-kit

Usage

The main export returns a function that needs to be called to expose the object of helpers.

Get all helpers

const helpers = require('handlebars-kit')();
//=> returns object with all (130+) helpers

Get a specific helper collection

Helper collections are exposed as getters, so only the helpers you want will be required and loaded.

const helpers = require('handlebars-kit');
const math = helpers.math();
//=> only the `math` helpers

const helpers = require('handlebars-kit');
const array = helpers.array();
//=> only the `collections` helpers

Get multiple helpers collections

Helper collections are exposed as getters, so only the helpers you want will be required and loaded.

const helpers = require('handlebars-kit')(['math', 'string']);
//=> only the `math` and `string` helpers

Optionally pass your own handlebars

const handlebars = require('handlebars');
const helpers = require('handlebars-kit')({
  handlebars: handlebars
});

// or for a specific collection
const math = helpers.math({
  handlebars: handlebars
});
