A wish to use import statements in the handlebars custom helper functions...? about obsidian-import-json HOT 4 CLOSED

let initJsonHelpers = new Function('handlebars', await helperfile.text());
if (initJsonHelpers) initJsonHelpers(handlebars);

function hb_farling() {
	let orig = arguments[0];
	orig += ' from Helper';
	return orig;
}
handlebars.registerHelper('farling', hb_farling);

console.log(__dirname);
/// Applications/Obsidian.app/Contents/Resources/electron.asar/renderer

const Elements = require('./elements.js');

/*
 I can add some of my extra js objects like this (below) *rt_expand_center()*
 that can be used in the helper functions etc.. but I was hoping to 
 use require's to bring them in from a local directory so I can use them like on line 36
 but it seems due to the path when the actual function runs
 it cannot find the file.
