Use helper within model

[Jeffrey Taylor]

I have some code that is common to two models. So I put it a module and put
the module in a file in the model directory and include the module. All
works. I would like to use a method in one of the helpers. Helpers normally
are visible only in controllers and views. How do include it in a model?

The helper method is defined:

module GreenBox
class App
module GreenBoxHelper
def page_number(count)
(count-1)/PAGE_SIZE + 1
end
end

helpers GreenBoxHelper
end
end


If the model common file:
include GreenBox::App::GreenBoxHelper

does not work, the constant GreenBox::App::GreenBoxHelper is not defined.

TIA,
Jeffrey

Can you try requiring the helper module at the top of your model?

Yes, that does it.

Thanks,
