Custom handlebars helpers for Ghost, as an app

README.md

Custom Handlebars Helpers for Ghost

This is a Ghost "App" that will implement a custom Handlebars helper the same as https://apatchofcode.com/adding-custom-handlebars-for-ghost-equals-awesome/

Installation

Create a new directory in contents/apps

eg:

mkdir contents/apps/gt

Place package.json and index.js in the directory.

To enable the app you need to manually add it to the database as described at: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/wiki/Apps-Getting-Started-for-Ghost-Devs

Restart ghost

Usage

Simply use the new helper in your template, eg:

{{#compare 'apples' '===' 'oranges'}}
    <p>Totally not the case.<p>
{{/compare}}
{{#compare 'apples' 'typeof' 'string'}}
    <p>I think we're onto something.<p>
{{/compare}}

index.js

var App = require('ghost-app'),
  gt

gt = App.extend({
  install: function() {},

  uninstall: function() {},

  activate: function() {
    this.app.helpers.register('gt', function(a, b) {
      var next = arguments[arguments.length - 1]
      return a > b ? next.fn(this) : next.inverse(this)
    })
  },

  deactivate: function() {}
})

module.exports = gt
