Where to put Ruby helper methods for Rails controllers?

I have some Ruby methods certain (or all) controllers need. I tried putting them in /app/helpers/application_helper.rb. I've used that for methods to be used in views. But controllers don't see those methods. Is there another place I should put them or do I need to access those helper methods differently?

Using latest stable Rails.

Solution

  • You should define the method inside ApplicationController.
