Do you want to learn how to use helper templates and helper cfc's in your layouts, views, plugins, handlers or even interceptors?? Did you now that this feature exists in ColdBox since version 2.0.0??  Do you know what a helper is? Anyways, a helper cfc or template is just a collection of udf's or functions that you can reuse for either programmatic or visual "helping".  ColdBox already gives you a nice plugin architecture for you to build advanced and complex helpers. However, if you need simple things, like sometimes we do, we can whip out these guys in no time and ColdBox let's you bring them in with ease. So if you are interested in learning about helpers, just read this guide. So easy to do:
