                app._dynamicHelpers[key] = helpers[key];
            }
        }

    var dynamicHelpers = this.app._dynamicHelpers;

    if (dynamicHelpers) {
        for (let key in dynamicHelpers) {
            // call every helper and sign result to locals
            this.locals[key] = dynamicHelpers[key].call(this.app, this.req, this);
        }
    }
