If you’re trying to share functionality between controllers, I’d look at what I’m doing and make sure it’s not a model’s job to do that thing.

All your helper methods are available in your views already, but if you need to declare some methods in the controller as helper_methods, this works beautifully.

A better way, IMO, is to call #helper_method in your controller to declare any methods as “helpers” for use in views:

helper_method :my_helper
