Function in view in model less app

[Ruud Schroen]

Hi there,

I'm building a webapp with the model less app approach by Bruno Rocha and I stumble upon a problem.

Usually when you use models you can define function which can later be used inside a view.

How would I do this with a model less approach?

you're the one choosing an app without models :P there's nothing on modules that is available globally on views if not a model.
That being said, the model-less approach was done in a time where the thing that hurted performances was table definitions, that later got the possibility to be lazy-defined (hence the relatively small adoption of the model-less approach). You can still have a model that defines functions that you need globally, and it's the perfect place for them to be.

Hmm i didnt't know about that, i really need to check out lazy_tables. Saves me alot of time :P thanks for the info

Of course, if you define a function in a module, you will need to explicitly import it. You can import it in a model file if you like.
