Part 11 — Using Ghost Handlebars helpers

Ghost ships helpers beyond stock Handlebars. These do a lot of heavy lifting.

Helpers I use most

• {{content}} — renders the post body (Koenig output).
• {{img_url feature_image size="m"}} — responsive images.
• {{#has tag="#project"}}…{{/has}} — conditional on tags/slug/etc.
• {{#get "posts" filter="tag:hash-project" limit="3"}}…{{/get}} — query content anywhere.
• {{plural pagination.total empty="No posts" singular="% post" plural="% posts"}}

The {{#get}} helper is the sleeper

{{#get}} lets a template pull arbitrary content — related posts, featured items — without custom code. This is where "multipurpose" starts becoming possible.
