Helpers

By adding functions to can.ejs.Helpers.prototype, those functions will be available in the views.

The following helper converts a given string to upper case:

can.ejs.Helpers.prototype.toUpper = function(params) {
    return params.toUpperCase();
}

Use it like this in any EJS template:

<%= toUpper('javascriptmvc') %>

To access the current DOM element return a function that takes the element as a parameter:

can.ejs.Helpers.prototype.upperHtml = function(params) {
    return function(el) {
        $(el).html(params.toUpperCase());
    }
}

In your EJS view you can then call the helper on an element tag:

<div <%= upperHtml('javascriptmvc') %>></div>
