> Handlebars helper for adding RFC-822 formatted datetimes to XML feeds
## Installation
Use [npm](npmjs.org) to install the package:
```bash
npm i handlebars-helper-datetime --save-dev
```
Use [bower](https://github.com/bower/bower) to install the package:
```bash
bower install handlebars-helper-datetime --save-dev
```
## Usage
With the helper registered, you may now begin using it in your templates:
Use "now" as the date
```handlebars
{{datetime}}
```
Or pass in a context
```handlebars
{{datetime page.date}}
```
Results in
```yaml
Tue, 21 Jan 2014 03:08:11 -0500
```
## Usage with [Assemble](http://assemble.io)
The easiest way to register the helper with [Assemble](https://github.com/assemble/assemble) is to add the module to both `devDependencies` and `keywords` in your project's package.json:
```json
{
"devDependencies": {
"handlebars-helper-datetime": "*"
},
"keywords": [
"handlebars-helper-datetime"
]
}
```
Alternatively, to register the helper explicitly in the Gruntfile:
```javascript
grunt.initConfig({
assemble: {
options: {
// the 'handlebars-helper-datetime' npm module must also be listed in
// devDependencies for assemble to automatically resolve the helper
helpers: ['handlebars-helper-datetime', 'foo/*.js']
},
files: {
'dist/': ['src/templates/*.hbs']
}
}
});
```
