Use of Helpers

[Andrew Burleson]

I assume that if we have a basic app:

class MyApp < Roda

end

and some helper module like:

module UserHelpers

  def current_user

    @user ||= User[ session[:user_id] ]

  end

end

That the expected use of helpers is just:

include UserHelpers

This seems to work fine. Is there any other recommended practice for creating your own helper modules / methods so that they place nice with Roda?

I found a reference to "larger applications using helpers" in the Conventions section of the Roda guide, but no other mention.

Thanks!

That's the correct way to do it.  Helper methods are just instance methods in the Roda subclass, so including a module is fine, as is defining instance methods directly in the class.   I guess this isn't mentioned in the README.  If you think it should be added, please send in a pull request.

Thanks,
