Usage with Assemble

The easiest way to register the helper with Assemble is to add the module to both devDependencies and keywords in your project's package.json:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "handlebars-helper-datetime": "*"
  },
  "keywords": [
    "handlebars-helper-datetime"
  ]
}

Alternatively, to register the helper explicitly in the Gruntfile:

grunt.initConfig({
  assemble: {
    options: {
      // the 'handlebars-helper-datetime' npm module must also be listed in
      // devDependencies for assemble to automatically resolve the helper
      helpers: ['handlebars-helper-datetime', 'foo/*.js']
    },
    files: {
      'dist/': ['src/templates/*.hbs']
    }
  }
});
