As you begin to really dig into templates, you'll soon discover how truly great template helpers are. You can access data inline and drastically reduce the amount of code you need to write.
You will, however, eventually run into a situation where you find yourself repeating the same logic in multiple, in-template helpers. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to create global helpers accessible from any template? Well, Meteor has a solution for this too! This recipe will show you how to create global template helpers using the Template.registerHelper
function.
We will use the codebase from the Building a smooth interface with Bootstrap recipe, found in this chapter. Please follow that recipe first or download the corresponding codebase.
