0.9.0: loading helpers from verb config from package.json

[tunnckoCore]

@jonschlinkert as you mention. I think it not works.

"verb":
   "helpers": [
      "helper-simple-related"
    ],
}

in verb.md

{%= simpleRelated(verb.related.list) %}

and it outputs the returned simpleRelated function (see below). I followed helper-related pattern - module exports that exports function which returns async function.

module.exports = function (options) {
  return function simpleRelated (repos, opts, cb) {
    // code
    cb(null, res) // where `res` is the constructed string
  }
}

sorry, I forgot to mention async helpers. try using:

"verb":
   "asyncHelpers": [
      "helper-simple-related"
    ],
}

it might not be supported yet, I'll look in a bit, but just wanted to mention it

[tunnckoCore]

Hmm, yea, make sense. Will try.

[tunnckoCore]

Nope. Not works.

k thx. want to do a pr to base-runner? basically you can copy the logic used for helpers (don't worry about duplicating code, all of those fields are going to be refactored anyway)

[stefanwalther]

Are (non async) helpers supposed to work in current version of verb (0.9/dev)?

"verb":
   "helpers": [
      "helper-simple-related"
    ],
}

If I am not completely wrong, this already worked but seems to be broken now ...

[jonschlinkert]

sync helpers work in 0.9.0. there are many sync helpers used in verb-generate-readme, just make sure you're exporting the correct signature.
