How to call String.prototype.trim (or any other prototype function) as shown in the documentation example?

Before filing issues, please check the following points first:

• Please don't open issues for security issues. Instead, file a report at https://www.npmjs.com/advisories/report?package=handlebars
• Have a look at https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
• Read the FAQ at https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/blob/master/FAQ.md
• Use the jsfiddle-template at https://jsfiddle.net/4nbwjaqz/4/ to reproduce problems or bugs

This will probably help you to get a solution faster.
For bugs, it would be great to have a PR with a failing test-case.

I have been trying the example from the docs calling String.prototype.trim to work, but it does not seem to return the desired result (https://handlebarsjs.com/api-reference/runtime-options.html#options-to-control-prototype-access).

https://jsfiddle.net/3yahoj1d/

Can anyone explain why the result prints as [object Object] to the console when typeof result returns string, or how to get the example to work?

I have also asked this on StackOverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/q/67416982/5115898) so feel free to close this issue if this is not a problem with handlebars itself.

Got here the same way, followed documentation's example which didn't work -> StackOverflow -> here.

@tbinna have you had any luck since creating the issue?
