How can helpers be accessed from Middleman Console

Question

How can helpers be accessed from middleman console? Answer for both 3.x and 4.x would be helpful if it's not the same object path.

Answer 1

I couldn't find any documentation on this, so settled for the following work around:

Here's my helper

module PageHelpers
  def thing
    "THING!"
  end
end

Call the helper method on an instance of a class that includes it:

$ bundle exec middleman console
irb...> (class Thing; include PageHelpers; end).new.thing
=> "THING!"
