Hiccdown methods should live in their own, separate modules. How about they are called ‘displays’?
module ProductsDisplay
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 display, since displays have the benefit of having unambiguously resolvable method names.
