Using helpers in model: how do I include helper dependencies?
Just change the first line as follows :
include ActionView::Helpersthat will make it works.
UPDATE: For Rails 3 use:
ActionController::Base.helpers.sanitize(str)Credit goes to lornc's answer
This gives you just the helper method without the side effects of loading every ActionView::Helpers method into your model:
ActionController::Base.helpers.sanitize(str)
This works better for me:
Simple:
ApplicationController.helpers.my_helper_methodAdvance:
class HelperProxy < ActionView::Base include ApplicationController.master_helper_module def current_user #let helpers act like we're a guest nil end def self.instance @instance ||= new endendSource: http://makandracards.com/makandra/1307-how-to-use-helper-methods-inside-a-model
