## ParticleHelpers
Particle Helpers load particles from their respective paths within the project.

```
- particles
|-- conditions
|-- helpers
|-- mappings
|-- metadata
|-- outputs
|-- parameters
|-- partials
|-- resources
|-- sets
```

All helpers follow the same pattern

`{{<CONDENSATION-HELPER> [module:<MODULE>] '<PATH_TO_PARTICLE>' [OPTIONS...]}}`

When loading a particle from a module that starts with `particles-` the short form
can also be used, where <M> is the name of the module without `particles-`

`{{<CONDENSATION-HELPER> [m:<M>] '<PATH_TO_PARTICLE>' [OPTIONS...]}}`

**Kind**: global namespace  

* [ParticleHelpers](#ParticleHelpers) : <code>object</code>
    * [.condition([module], path, [...options])](#ParticleHelpers.condition) ⇒ <code>string</code>
    * [.mapping([module], path, [...options])](#ParticleHelpers.mapping) ⇒ <code>string</code>
    * [.metadata([module], path, [...options])](#ParticleHelpers.metadata) ⇒ <code>string</code>
