\#HandlebarsHelpers
===================

[](#handlebarshelpers)

I'm collecting here some xamin/handlebars.php helpers that I find useful.

\#Installation Of course, you need (xamin/handlebars)\[\] to use this helpers. Fortunately, if you install via composer, dependencies are automatically handled:

```
composer require davideorazio/handlebars.php-helpers:dev-master

```

otherwise, just update your composer.json file:

```
{
    "require": {
        ...
        "davideorazio/handlebars.php-helpers": "dev-master",
        ...
    }
}

```

and run `composer update`.

\#Usage

In order to use the helpers, you need to register them into your Handlebars instance:

```
//Use include statements, or use the full namespace and class name below
use DavideOrazio\HandlebarsHelpers\DateHelper;
use DavideOrazio\HandlebarsHelpers\StringFormatHelper;
use DavideOrazio\HandlebarsHelpers\EachUpToHelper;
use DavideOrazio\HandlebarsHelpers\CountHelper;
use DavideOrazio\HandlebarsHelpers\VarDumpHelper;

//Just a instance creation example
$engine = new Handlebars(array(
            'loader' => new \Handlebars\Loader\FilesystemLoader(array('path/to/folder/one','path/to/folder/two')),
            'partials_loader' => new \Handlebars\Loader\FilesystemLoader(
                array('path/to/folder/one','path/to/folder/two'),
                array(
                    'prefix' => '_'
                )
            )//,
        ));

//Here you register your helpers
$engine->addHelper('Date',new DateHelper());
$engine->addHelper('StringFormat',new StringFormatHelper());
$engine->addHelper('EachUpTo',new EachUpToHelper());
$engine->addHelper('Count',new CountHelper());
$engine->addHelper('VarDump',new VarDumpHelper());

```

\##DateHelper Formats a date in day-month-year

```
{{#Date yourDateVar}}

```

\##StringFormat A simple wrapper for PHP's `sprintf`.. (currently for one var only)!

```
{{#StringFormat "your variable string: %s" yourVar}}

```

\##EachUpTo Allows you to loop through `yourVar`, but specifing a maximum number of items (`upperLimit`)

```
{{#EachUpTo yourVar upperLimit}}
...
{{/EachUpTo}}

```

\##Count Just prints the count of an array

```
{{#Count yourArray}}

```

\##VarDump Prints a var\_dump of the variable

```
{{#VarDump yourVar}}

```
