Handlebars helpers

As part of the schema, a number of extensions to the Handlebars templating language are bundled with the DataSolutionAutomation library.

Block helpers

Block helpers have a starting and closing tag, and often support {{else}} constructs.

• {{#stringcompare}}
• {{#stringdiff}}
• {{#replicate}}
• {{#exists}}
• {{#targetDataItemExists}}

String helpers

String helpers do not use the # prefix and have no closing tag. They accept one or more parameter values and return a string to use in the template.

• {{now}}
• {{randomdate}}
• {{randomnumber}}
• {{randomstring}}
• {{space}}
• {{stringwrap}}
• {{stringreplace}}
• {{lookupExtension}}
