More than 150 Handlebars helpers in 17 categories. Works in browsers and in Node.js.

# handlebars-helpers
<!-- {% raw %} -->

> Tons of awesome helpers for Handlebars

This library is used for templates in [Wirechunk](https://wirechunk.com).

## Browsers are supported

Though this is a fork of [helpers/handlebars-helpers](https://github.com/helpers/handlebars-helpers), this package
only has helpers that work both in Node.js and in browsers.

See how to [use handlebars-helpers in the browser](https://github.com/doowb/handlebars-helpers-browserify-example).

## Usage

Install this library:

```
npm install useful-handlebars-helpers
```

The main file (`index.js`) exports groups of helpers. See it for a list of all the groups.

Import the groups you want and register each as a helper:

```js
import handlebars from 'handlebars';
import { array, collection, math, number } from 'useful-handlebars-helpers';

[array, collection, math, number].forEach(
  (helper) => {
    Handlebars.registerHelper(helper);
  },
);
```

You need to have Handlebars as a dependency yourself: it is declared as a peer dependency here.

Also, if you use syntax highlighting when rendering Markdown to HTML with the `helper-markdown` module, you
need to have highlight.js as a dependency yourself; it too is a peer dependency here.

## array

### after

Returns all of the items in an array, or characters in a string, after the specified index.

**Params**

* `array` **{Array|String}**: Collection
* `n` **{Number}**: Starting index (number of items to exclude)
* `returns` **{Array|String}**: Array or string excluding `n` items.

**Example**

```handlebars
<!-- array: ['a', 'b', 'c'] -->
{{after array 1}}
<!-- results in: '["c"]' -->

<!-- str: "abcd" -->
{{after str 2}}
<!-- results in: 'cd' -->
```

### eachIndex

**Params**

* `array` **{Array}**
* `options` **{Object}**
* `returns` **{String}**

**Example**

```handlebars
<!-- array: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h'] -->
{{#eachIndex array}}
  {{item}} is {{index}}
{{/eachIndex}}
```

### filter

Returns an array with the given array's elements filtered for elements that equal a specified value
or, if a hash argument with a "property" key is provided, for elements that have the specified
property equal to a specified value.

**Params**

* `array` **{Array}**
* `value` **{any}**
* `options` **{Object}**
* `returns` **{Array}**

**Example**

```handlebars
<!-- array: ['a', 'b', 'a', 'c'] -->
{{filter array "a"}}
<!-- results in: ['a', 'a'] -->

<!-- array: [{ x: 'a' }, { x: 'b' }, { x: 'a' }, { x: 'c' }] -->
{{filter array "a" property="x"}}
<!-- results in: [{ x: 'a'}, { x: 'a' }] -->
```

### first

Returns the first item, or first `n` items of an array.

**Params**

* `array` **{Array}**
* `n` **{Number}**: Number of items to return, starting at `0`.
* `returns` **{Array}**

**Example**

```handlebars
{{first "['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']" 2}}
<!-- results in: '["a", "b"]' -->
```

### forEach

Iterates over each item in an array and exposes the current item in the array as context to the inner block. In addition to the current array item, the helper exposes the following variables to the inner block:

* `index`
* `total`
* `isFirst`
* `isLast`
Also, `@index` is exposed as a private variable, and additional
private variables may be defined as hash arguments.

**Params**

* `array` **{Array}**
* `returns` **{String}**

**Example**

```handlebars
<!-- accounts = [
{'name': 'John', 'email': 'john@example.com'},
{'name': 'Malcolm', 'email': 'malcolm@example.com'},
{'name': 'David', 'email': 'david@example.com'}
] -->

{{#forEach accounts}}
  <a href="mailto:{{ email }}" title="Send an email to {{ name }}">
    {{ name }}
  </a>{{#unless isLast}}, {{/unless}}
{{/forEach}}
```

### inArray

Block helper that renders the block if an array has the given `value`. Optionally specify an inverse block to render when the array does not have the given value.

**Params**

* `array` **{Array}**
* `value` **{any}**
* `options` **{Object}**
* `returns` **{String}**

**Example**

```handlebars
<!-- array: ['a', 'b', 'c'] -->
{{#inArray array "d"}}
  foo
{{else}}
  bar
{{/inArray}}
<!-- results in: 'bar' -->
```

### isArray

Returns true if `value` is an es5 array.

**Params**

* `value` **{any}**: The value to test.
* `returns` **{Boolean}**

**Example**

```handlebars
{{isArray "abc"}}
<!-- results in: false -->

<!-- array: [1, 2, 3] -->
{{isArray array}}
<!-- results in: true -->
```

### itemAt

Returns the item from `array` at index `idx`.

**Params**

* `array` **{Array}**
* `idx` **{Number}**
* `returns` **{any}** `value`

**Example**

```handlebars
<!-- array: ['a', 'b', 'c'] -->
{{itemAt array 1}}
<!-- results in: 'b' -->
```

### join

Join all elements of array into a string, optionally using a given separator.

**Params**

* `array` **{Array}**
* `separator` **{String}**: The separator to use. Defaults to `,`.
* `returns` **{String}**

**Example**

```handlebars
<!-- array: ['a', 'b', 'c'] -->

* `number` **{Number}**
* `precision` **{Number}**
* `returns` **{String}**

### toExponential

Returns a string representing the given number in exponential notation.

**Params**

* `number` **{Number}**
* `fractionDigits` **{Number}**: Optional. An integer specifying the number of digits to use after the decimal point. Defaults to as many digits as necessary to specify the number.
* `returns` **{Number}**

**Example**

```handlebars
{{toExponential number digits}};
```

### toFixed

Formats the given number using fixed-point notation.

**Params**

* `number` **{Number}**
* `digits` **{Number}**: (Optional) The number of digits to appear after the decimal point; this may be a value between 0 and 20. If this argument is omitted, it is treated as 0.
* `returns` **{String}**: A string representing the given number using fixed-point notation.

**Example**

```handlebars
{{toFixed "1.1234" 2}}
//=> '1.12'
```

### toFloat

**Params**

* `number` **{Number}**
* `returns` **{Number}**

### toInt

**Params**

* `number` **{Number}**
* `returns` **{Number}**

### toPrecision

Returns a string representing the `Number` object to the specified precision.

**Params**

* `number` **{Number}**
* `precision` **{Number}**: (Optional) An integer specifying the number of significant digits. If precison is not between 1 and 100 (inclusive), it will be coerced to `0`.
* `returns` **{String}**: A string representing a Number object in fixed-point or exponential notation rounded to precision significant digits.

**Example**

```handlebars
{{toPrecision "1.1234" 2}}
//=> '1.1'
```

## object

### extend

Extend the context with the properties of other objects.
A shallow merge is performed to avoid mutating the context.

**Params**

* `objects` **{Object}**: One or more objects to extend.
* `returns` **{Object}**

### forIn

Block helper that iterates over the properties of
an object, exposing each key and value on the context.

**Params**

* `context` **{Object}**
* `options` **{Object}**
* `returns` **{String}**

### forOwn

Block helper that iterates over the **own** properties of
an object, exposing each key and value on the context.

**Params**

* `obj` **{Object}**: The object to iterate over.
* `options` **{Object}**
* `returns` **{String}**

### toPath

Take arguments and, if they are string or number, convert them to a dot-delineated object property path.

**Params**

* `prop` **{String|Number}**: The property segments to assemble (can be multiple).
* `returns` **{String}**

### get

Use property paths (`a.b.c`) to get a value or nested value from
the context. Works as a regular helper or block helper.

**Params**

* `prop` **{String}**: The property to get, optionally using dot notation for nested properties.
* `context` **{Object}**: The context object
* `options` **{Object}**: The handlebars options object, if used as a block helper.
* `returns` **{String}**

### getObject

Use property paths (`a.b.c`) to get an object from
the context. Differs from the `get` helper in that this
helper will return the actual object, including the
given property key. Also, this helper does not work as a
block helper.

**Params**

* `prop` **{String}**: The property to get, optionally using dot notation for nested properties.
* `context` **{Object}**: The context object
* `returns` **{String}**

### hasOwn

Return true if `key` is an own, enumerable property of the given `context` object.

**Params**

* `key` **{String}**
* `context` **{Object}**: The context object.
* `returns` **{Boolean}**

**Example**

```handlebars
{{hasOwn context key}}
```

### isObject

Return true if `value` is an object.

**Params**

* `value` **{String}**
* `returns` **{Boolean}**

**Example**

```handlebars
{{isObject "foo"}}
//=> false
```

### JSONparse

Parses the given string using `JSON.parse`.

**Params**

* `string` **{String}**: The string to parse

**Example**

```handlebars
<!-- string: '{"foo": "bar"}' -->
{{JSONparse string}}
<!-- results in: { foo: 'bar' } -->
```

### JSONstringify

Stringify an object using `JSON.stringify`.

**Params**

* `obj` **{Object}**: Object to stringify
* `returns` **{String}**

**Example**

```handlebars
<!-- object: { foo: 'bar' } -->
{{JSONstringify object}}
<!-- results in: '{"foo": "bar"}' -->
```

### merge

Deeply merge the properties of the given `objects` with the
context object.

**Params**

* `object` **{Object}**: The target object. Pass an empty object to shallow clone.
* `objects` **{Object}**
* `returns` **{Object}**
