Hello,

I am trying to write a custom helper that would work with local files. What is the preferred way to reconstruct a file path from a passed URL? url.fileURLToPath() does the job when the file URI scheme is used, but I need a universal solution. (I see that the {{imageDimensions}} helper solves this issue by referencing rendererInstance.siteConfig.domain and rendererInstance.inputDir, but it doesn’t seem to be possible for custom helpers.)

It turns out that the last argument passed to a helper contains the base URL under data.website.baseUrl.

I still don’t know how to get at the input directory without using __dirname.

Hi,

Unfortunately helpers.js has no access to such data. Through the last argument you will get only access to data available for handlebars, not the renderer config.
