The source code for these templates can be found [here](../ext/js/templates/sandbox/anki-template-renderer.js).
### `dumpObject`
Converts an object to a pretty-printed JSON string.
This function can be helpful for debugging values when creating templates.

{
"key": "value"
}
```

</details>
### `regexReplace`
Uses a [regular expression](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions) to replace a pattern with the specified text.

<code>{{#regexReplace <i>regex</i> <i>replacement</i> <i>[flags]</i> <i>[text-to-modify]...</i>}}{{/regexReplace}}</code><br>
* _`regex`_ <br>
The raw string used to create the regular expression. This value is passed to the [`RegExp`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp/RegExp) constructor.
* _`replacement`_ <br>
The text used to replace pattern matches. This supports the standard [special capture group replacements](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace#Specifying_a_string_as_a_parameter) as supported by the web browser.
* _`flags`_ _(optional)_ <br>

<details>
<summary>Syntax:</summary>
<code>{{#regexMatch <i>regex</i> <i>[flags]</i>}}<i>text-to-modify</i>{{/regexMatch}}</code><br>
<code>{{#regexMatch <i>regex</i> <i>[flags]</i> <i>[text-to-modify]...</i>}}{{/regexMatch}}</code><br>
* _`regex`_ <br>
The raw string used to create the regular expression. This value is passed to the [`RegExp`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp/RegExp) constructor.
* _`flags`_ _(optional)_ <br>
Optional flags to pass to the [`RegExp`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp/RegExp) constructor.
* _`text-to-modify`_ <br>
The text that the regular expression is applied to.
If multiple arguments are present, they are all concatenated.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Example:</summary>
```handlebars

{{~#mergeTags definition group merge}}{{/mergeTags~}}
```
Output:
```html
v5m, vt, JMdict (English)
```
</details>
### `eachUpTo`
Similar to the built-in `each` function, but iterates up to a maximum count.
If the iterable is falsy or empty, the `else` condition will be used.
<details>
<summary>Syntax:</summary>
<code>{{#eachUpTo <i>iterable</i> <i>maxCount</i>}}<i>(modification)</i>{{else}}<i>(else-modification)</i>{{/eachUpTo}}</code>
* _`iterable`_ <br>
The object that should be looped over. A JavaScript [`for...of`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/for...of) loop is used, so the object only needs to be iterable.
* _`maxCount`_ _(optional)_ <br>
The maximum number of entries to loop over.
* _`modification`_ <br>
The template used to modify the value. The context is changed to the current item of iteration.
* _`else-modification`_ <br>
The template used in case the iterable is falsy or empty. The context is unchanged.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Example:</summary>
```handlebars
{{~#eachUpTo someArray 5}}{{{.}}}<br>{{else}}Empty{{/mergeTags~}}
```

```html
someArray[0]<br>someArray[1]<br>someArray[2]<br>someArray[3]<br>someArray[4]<br>
```
Preview:
<pre>someArray[0]<br>someArray[1]<br>someArray[2]<br>someArray[3]<br>someArray[4]<br></pre>
</details>
### `spread`
Uses the JavaScript [spread](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_syntax) operator to convert one or more iterables into a single array.
This allows it to be used similar to an [`Array.concat`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/concat) operation.
<details>
<summary>Syntax:</summary>
<code>{{#spread <i>iterable1</i> <i>iterable2</i> <i>...</i> <i>iterableN</i>}}{{/spread}}</code>

```
Output:
```html
array1[0]<br>array1[1]<br>array2[0]<br>array2[1]<br>
```

## Legacy Helpers
Yomichan has historically used Handlebars templates to generate the HTML used on the search page and results popup.
To simplify the and improve Yomichan's capabilities, the HTML elements are now generated directly using a different process.
As such, there are several leftover Handlebars helpers that do not have much utility for Anki templates, but are kept for compatibility purposes.
