[](#usage)

```
// Create Slim app
$app = new \Slim\App();

// Fetch DI Container
$container = $app->getContainer();

// Register Handlebars View helper
$container['view'] = function ($c) {
    $view = new \Slim\Views\Handlebars('path/to/templates', [
        'extension' => 'handlebars'
    ]);

    return $view;
};

})->setName('profile');
