Instance Method Details

#helper_attr(*attrs) ⇒ Object

Declares helper accessors for controller attributes. For example, the following adds new ‘name` and `name=` instance methods to a controller and makes them available to the view:

attr_accessor :name
helper_attr :name

#### Parameters

  • ‘attrs` - Names of attributes to be converted into helpers.

def helper_attr(*attrs)
  attrs.flatten.each { |attr| helper_method(attr, "#{attr}=") }
end

#helpers ⇒ Object

Provides a proxy to access helper methods from outside the view.

Note that the proxy is rendered under a different view context. This may cause incorrect behavior with capture methods. Consider using [helper](AbstractController::Helpers::ClassMethods#helper) instead when using ‘capture`.

  end
end

#modules_for_helpers(args) ⇒ Object

Override modules_for_helpers to accept ‘:all` as argument, which loads all helpers in helpers_path.

#### Parameters

  • ‘args` - A list of helpers

#### Returns

  • ‘array` - A normalized list of modules for the list of helpers provided.
