With an account, you can revise, criticize, and comment on ideas.Hiccdown methods should live in their own, separate modules. How about they are called ‘renderers’?
module ProductsRenderer
def self.index vc, # …
vc.some_helper_method
end
end
A benefit of this approach is that, when people start a new Rails app, they may end up putting whatever they’d otherwise put in a helper in a renderer, since renderers have the benefit of having unambiguously resolvable method names.
Then how would you call index from a helper method?
I don’t think that’s something people would do a lot, but they still easily could: ProductsRenderer.index(self)
Tested, it works. self does indeed point to the view_context in the helper. Verified by printing object_ids.
I don’t like the term ‘renderer’ yet. It’s too loaded with meaning, what with Rails already having a render method in controllers and another render method in views…
