API

Loader

Create an instance of Loader with the given options.

Params

• options {Object}

Example

var Loader = require('load-helpers');
var loader = new Loader();

.addHelper

Register a helper function by name.

Params

• name {String}
• fn {Function}
• options {Object}

Example

loader.addHelper('foo', function() {
  // do stuff
});

.addHelpers

Register an object of helper functions.

Params

• helpers {Object}
• options {Object}

Example

loader.addHelpers({
  foo: function() {},
  bar: function() {},
  baz: function() {}
});

.load

Load one or more helpers from a filepath, glob pattern, object, or an array of any of those things. This method detects the type of value to be handled then calls one of the other methods to do the actual loading.

Params

• helpers {Object}
• options {Object}
• returns {Object}: Returns the views from loader.helpers

Example

var loader = new Loader();
console.log(loader.load(['foo/*.hbs', 'bar/*.hbs']));
console.log(loader.load({path: 'a/b/c.md'}));
console.log(loader.load('index', {path: 'a/b/c.md'}));

options.renameHelper

Customize how dynamically-added helpers are named as they're loaded.

Examples

Pass a custom renameHelper function on the ctor.

var loader = new Loader({
  renameHelper: function(key) {
    // simple camel-case
    return key.replace(/\W(.)/g, function(_, ch) {
      return ch.toUpperCase();
    });
  }
});

loader.load('for-own');
console.log(loader.helpers);
// { 'forOwn': [Function: forOwn] }

Or to only renamed specific helpers, you can pass the renameHelper function to any of the methods.

loader.load('for-own', {
  renameHelper: function(key) {
    // simple camel-case
    return key.replace(/\W(.)/g, function(_, ch) {
      return ch.toUpperCase();
    });
  }
});
console.log(loader.helpers);
// { 'forOwn': [Function: forOwn] }
