Missing UI template helpers for Meteor

This project was inspired by awesome template tags and filters shipped with Django.

Installation:

meteor add msamoylov:missing-helpers

Template helpers:

1. {{stripTags yourStringWithHTML}}. This global template helper removes HTML tags from your string. It's possible to provide a second parameter with the list of allowed tags. For instance, {{stripTags yourStringWithHTML "<strong><p>"}}
2. {{hasVerifiedEmail userObject}}. Can be useful for prompting users to verify their email addresses. If the parameter is omitted, the helper uses ```{{currentUser}}`` variable.
3. {{currentYear}} returns a string with the current year. Can be useful for generating a footer with your copyright.
4. {{formatDateTime createdAt formatString}} returns a formatted date according to moment.js formatting rules. For instance, {{formatDateTime createdAt "MMM D"}} produces "Jan 13", and {{formatDateTime createdAt}} does "2015-01-13T23:44:50+02:00"
5. {{timeSince createdAt}} returns relative time since a given date. A wrapper for moment().fromNow()
6. {{truncateChars yourString length}} truncates a string after a certain number of characters.
7. {{linebreaksbr yourText}} converts all newlines in a piece of plain text to HTML line breaks (<br>). If you provide a second parameter as true, it will remove the existing newlines from text.

Low-level utilities:

1. MissingUtility.cleanTags(yourStringWithHTML) removes all HTML tags from a given string. The second parameter accepts a string with allowed tags. For instance, MissingUtility.cleanTags(yourStringWithHTML, '<strong><p>').
2. MissingUtility.hasVerifiedEmail(userObject) determines if a user has verified his email address.
3. MissingUtility.truncateChars(yourString, length) truncates a string after a certain number of characters.
4. MissingUtility.nl2br(yourText) converts all newlines in a piece of plain text to HTML line breaks (<br>). If you provide a second parameter as true, it will remove the existing newlines from text.
