Meteor - is there any way to access helper from another helper

I found a similar question. But this is not what I want.

Template.testTemp.helpers({
    firstValue: function () {
        return something
    },

    secondValue: function () {
        // I want to access firstValue here.
        // But I dont know what to do.
    }
})

Is there anyone can help me?

Thanks!

You can hack a call to a template helper with:

Template.tplName.__helpers.get('helper').call()

MDG suggests using a regular function and then passing it to helpers, events and so on. See here.

If you define your helpers functions outside of the helper object that you are passing, you can use them like any other function.

var firstValue = function () {
  return something;
};

var secondValue = function () {
  var fv = firstValue();
  return somethingelse;
};

Template.testTemp.helpers({
  firstValue: firstValue,
  secondValue: secondValue
});
