[SOLVED] Register assemble handlebars-helpers with Express handlebars

I had a look at this post but it does not come up with a solution: Register Assemble Handlebars Helpers

I want to register all the helpers in https://github.com/assemble/handlebars-helpers to my Express 4 application running express-handlebars.

So far I've tried this but the helpers are not getting registered:

var express = require('express')
    , app = express()
    , exphbs = require('express-handlebars');

var hbs = exphbs.create({
    extname: '.hbs',
    defaultLayout: 'default',
    layoutsDir: './lib/templates/layouts',
    partialsDir: './lib/templates/partials'
    helpers: require('handlebars-helpers') // Not registering correctly
});

How does this library work? I'm probably doing it wrong. Are you supposed to register one at a time or can you load the all helpers?

Solution

Try this:

var express = require('express')
    , app = express()
    , exphbs = require('express-handlebars')
    , hbsHelpers = require('handlebars-helpers');

var hbs = exphbs.create({
    //code...
});
hbsHelpers.register(hbs.handlebars, {});
