title: Using helper methods while templating with Angular JS
body: <p>Currently in the process of converting a website from its previous templating to Angular. In the previous templating process we were using we were able to call helper methods to display data correctly. For instance:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
  $.views.helpers({
      parseDate: function (jsonDate) {
        if (jsonDate != null) {
          var newDate = Utils.PrettyDate(Utils.ConvertJsonDateToJsDate(jsonDate));
          return newDate;
        }
      }
  });
  &lt;/script&gt;
  
  
  &lt;div class="post-info"&gt;
    &lt;span class="posted-date"&gt;Posted {{ :~parseDate(CreatedDate) }}&lt;/span&gt;
    &amp;nbsp|&amp;nbsp
    &lt;span&gt;{{ :ReplyCount }} Replies&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This was very nice. Trying to figure out a way to utilize the same type of functionality with Angular as far as templating goes. Is it possible to do something similar? If so how?</p>
