Excellent, thanks!

Hi,

jsreport-xlsx utilises several mechanisms for incorporating helpers.js (see below from jsreport-xlsx/src/index.js). Can you please point me in the direction of the documentation for when these various mechanisms might apply and any specific documentation on their operation?

Thanks!
Daniel

 if (reporter.compilation) {
    reporter.compilation.resource('defaultXlsxTemplate.json', path.join(__dirname, '../static', 'defaultXlsxTemplate.json'))
    reporter.compilation.resource('helpers.js', path.join(__dirname, '../static', 'helpers.js'))
  }

and

return (reporter.execution ? Promise.resolve(reporter.execution.resource('helpers.js')) : FS.readFileAsync(path.join(__dirname, '../', 'static', 'helpers.js'), 'utf8')).then(
        (content) => {
          if (req.template.helpers && typeof req.template.helpers === 'object') {
            // this is the case when the jsreport is used with in-process strategy
            // and additinal helpers are passed as object
            // in this case we need to merge in xlsx helpers
            req.template.helpers.require = require
            req.template.helpers.fsproxy = require(path.join(__dirname, 'fsproxy.js'))
            return vm.runInNewContext(content, req.template.helpers)
          }

          req.template.helpers = content + '\n' + (req.template.helpers || '')
        })
