Not able to access 'handlebars' from jsreport-handlebars

[rchancey]

I am trying to add the handlebars-helpers. I am using the jsreport-handlebars package.

const handlebars = require('jsreport-handlebars') jsreport.use(handlebars())

when I try to load the handlebars-helpers: const helpers = require('handlebars-helpers'); and then pass it the handlebars as suggested: jsreport.use(helpers({ handlebars: handlebars }))

I get a type error on hbs..

module initialization error: TypeError at /var/task/node_modules/handlebars-helpers/index.js:36:11 at forIn (/var/task/node_modules/for-in/index.js:12:12) at helpers (/var/task/node_modules/handlebars-helpers/index.js:35:5) at Object.

how do I add the helpers to the handlebar when it is wrapped by jsreport-handlebars?

Any example here?
