This plugin does not provide any helpers to `pytest`_, it does, however,
provide a helpers namespace in `pytest`_ which enables you to register helper
functions in your ``conftest.py`` to be used within your tests without having
to import them.


Features
--------

* Provides a ``helpers`` `pytest`_ namespace which can be used to register
  helper functions without requiring you to import them on your actual tests to
  use them.


Requirements
------------

* None!


Installation
------------

You can install "pytest-helpers-namespace" via `pip`_ from `PyPI`_::

    $ pip install pytest-helpers-namespace


Usage
-----

Consider the following ``conftest.py`` file:

.. code-block:: python

   pytest_plugins = ['helpers_namespace']

   import pytest

   @pytest.helpers.register
   def foo(bar):
       '''
       this dumb helper function will just return what you pass to it
       '''
       return bar


And now consider the following test case:

.. code-block:: python

   def test_helper_namespace():
       assert pytest.helpers.foo(True) is True


Pretty simple right?!


You can even nest namespaces. Consider the following ``conftest.py`` file:

.. code-block:: python

   pytest_plugins = ['helpers_namespace']

   import pytest

   @pytest.helpers.can.haz.register
   def foo(bar):
       '''
       this dumb helper function will just return what you pass to it
       '''
       return bar


And now consider the following test case:

.. code-block:: python

   def test_helper_namespace():
       assert pytest.helpers.can.haz.foo(True) is True


You can even pass a name to the register function and that will be the helper function name.
