helpers

I'm trying to add some JSON parsing to the C# code in VS2015 but I can't find: System.Web.Helpers as the MS documentation suggests. I've looked at other people's questions of a similar nature (almost all on earlier versions) and the answers all say to add it in the Assemblies / Framework dialog. The problem is it doesn't appear in that dialog, nor do many of the other things I see people talking about. I would really appreciate any help on fixing this. Here is the list I have access to: Edit: Added the Extensions window as well This question is a bit old but here's a simple solution -

Is it possible to call helper methods from controller? If yes how to do this in Rails 3? view_context.some_helper_method You can either include the helper module in the controller, or define the helper as a controller method and mark it as a helper via helper_method :method_name . class FooHelper def bar ... end end class QuxsController include FooHelper end or class QuxsController private def bar ... end helper_method :bar end This is working if some one wants to use ApplicationHelper method in other controllers or view just add this include ApplicationHelper give below because all your

railstutorial.org has a suggestion which strikes me as a little odd. It suggests this code : class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base protect_from_forgery include SessionsHelper end The include SessionsHelper makes the methods available from ApplicationController , yes, but it makes them available in any view, as well. I understand that authentication/authorization is cross-cutting, but is this really the best place? That seems to me to be potentially too broad of a scope. Putting code which implements, say, a before_filter which conditionally redirects (as the railstutorial.org

Does anyone know why I get undefined method `my_method' for #<MyController:0x1043a7410> when I call my_method("string") from within my ApplicationController subclass? My controller looks like class MyController < ApplicationController def show @value = my_method(params[:string]) end end and my helper module ApplicationHelper def my_method(string) return string end end and finally, ApplicationController class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base after_filter :set_content_type helper :all helper_method :current_user_session, :current_user filter_parameter_logging :password protect_from

Rails 3.1+ I want my url helpers to use the https protocol without having to specify it in every helper I call. After searching around I've found various ways but none work, for example: ROUTES_PROTOCOL = (ENV["RAILS_ENV"] =~ /development/ ? 'http://' : 'https://') scope :protocol => ROUTES_PROTOCOL, :path => "/app" do How can this be done? So you want it mainly for links in emails? I think this will work in your production.rb, development.rb or any other environment. config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'yourwebsite.com', :protocol => 'https' } # Makes it possible to use

I want to use rails' familiar helpers, but with slightly altered functionality. The way I see it, I want to be able to do something like: module AwesomeHelper #... create alias of stylesheet_link_tag to old_stylesheet_link_tag def stylesheet_link_tag(*args) if @be_awesome awesome_stylesheet_link_tag *args else old_stylesheet_link_tag *args end end end The way I see it, I have three options: Monkey patching: Reopening the rails helper module. If the rails team ever change the name of their helper module, my code becomes a source of brittleness. Not insurmountable, but not ideal. Use different

Is there a way that I can create a custom form helper so that instead of: special_field_tag :object, :method I can achieve something like: form.special_field :method Yes, you can add to the FormBuilder class and get access to the object passed into the form_for. I've done this for a lot of things: dates, times, measurements, etc. Heres an example: class ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder include ActionView::Helpers::TagHelper include ActionView::Helpers::FormTagHelper include ActionView::Helpers::FormOptionsHelper include ActionView::Helpers::CaptureHelper include ActionView::Helpers:

If I wanted to make a currentUser() function for some oauth stuff I am doing where I can use it in a view or in a controller (think rails, where you do helper_method: current_user in the application controller). Everything I read states to create a helpers folder and add the function there and then that way you can do Helpers::functionName Is this the right way to do this? Whats the "laravel way" of creating helper functions that can be used in blade templates and controllers? Create a new file in your app/Helpers directory name it AnythingHelper.php An example of my helper is : <?php function
