# express-hbs-helpers-test

Testing global variables with Handlebars helpers.

## WHY

Trying to see if we can inject global variables into Handlebars without needing to mess with passing values between templates.

## HOW

```js

const express = require("express");

const exphbs = require("express-handlebars");

const app = express();

const hbs = exphbs.create({

  extname: ".hbs",

  defaultLayout: "default",

  layoutsDir: path.join(__dirname, "views/layouts"),

  partialsDir: path.join(__dirname, "views/partials"),

  helpers: {

    LOGO_ROOT: "https://logohost/foo/bar/",

    HIBP_ROOT: "https://haveibeenpwned.com/api/v3/breaches"

  }

});

```

First, we're adding some global variables into the `helpers` object.

Now we can use the `LOGO_ROOT` and `HIBP_ROOT` constants in our templates, as seen in [views/home.hbs](views/home.hbs):

```hbs

{{!< default }}

What, did this work?


in template:

{{ LOGO_ROOT }}




in partial:

{{> snippet }}

```


You can use the global `{{ LOGO_ROOT }}` in our templates, or in any partials, as seen in [views/partials/snippet.hbs](views/partials/snippet.hbs):

```hbs

{{ HIBP_ROOT }}

```
