jsreport-core: using header with phantom-pdf receipe

I've a jsreport-core based app, the content template is renderd fine, but the header is not renderd. Here the the basic steps in my app: 

import jsreportCore from 'jsreport-core';
import jsreportFsStore from 'jsreport-fs-store';
import jsreportTemplates from 'jsreport-templates';
import jsreportJsrender from 'jsreport-jsrender';
import jsreportPhantomPdf from 'jsreport-phantom-pdf';
import jsreportExpress from 'jsreport-express';

// ...

jsreport.use(new jsreportFsStore({dataDirectory: "data", syncModifications: true}));
jsreport.use(new jsreportTemplates());
jsreport.use(new jsreportJsrender);
jsreport.use(new jsreportPhantomPdf());
jsreport.use(new jsreportExpress({app : app}));

// ...
const jsreport = new jsreportCore({
   loadConfig: false,
   autoTempCleanup: true,
   connectionString: { 'name': 'fs' },
   tasks: { allowedModules: '*' }
});

// ...


jsreport.render({ template : {name: "foo",engine: "jsrender",recipe:"phantom-pdf"},data : dataObj}).then((out) => {
      out.stream.pipe(res);
    }).catch((e) => {
      res.end(e.message);
    });

This is the template directory structure where the content templated is loaded from. (Same as from jsreport-studio). 

---- data
------ templates
-------- foo
---------- content.html
---------- header.html

Solution: put the header information in a object "phantom" in the render      paramter object:  

{ 
    template : {name: "foo",engine:"jsrender",recipe:"phantom-pdf",phantom :{
       header :"<h1>TEST HEAD <div style='text-align:center'{{#pageNum}}/{{#numPages}}</div> </h1>", headerHeight : "10cm"} 
}

and put an extra parameter in the jsreport-phantom-pdf contructor:

jsreport.use(new jsreportPhantomPdf({ strategy: 'phantom-server' }));
