Helpers

This module automatically includes the official set of helpers by LinkedIn. Other helper modules will need to be required manually, using a loader file placed in the helpers directory defined in config (e.g. workspace/utils/helpers/loader.js)

Example:

var components = require('@dadi/web').Components
var dust = require('dustjs-linkedin')
// Load common-dustjs-helpers
var commonDustHelpers = require('common-dustjs-helpers')
new commonDustHelpers.CommonDustjsHelpers().export_helpers_to(dust)
// Load the DADI helper pack
require('@dadi/dustjs-helpers')(dust, { components: components })
