# GenericHelper

The `Xmf\Module\Helper\GenericHelper` implements a Xoops\Module\Helper\HelperAbstract compatible object as introduced in XOOPS 2.6. It consolidates many commonly needed module related functions.

This class should not be used directly, but should be instantiated with: `Xmf\Module\Helper::getHelper(*$dirname*);`

The available methods are described under [Xmf\Module\Helper](/xmf-cookbook/reference/module/helper.md).
