Helper Methods inside of a Controller
When needing to include a helper method inside of a controller, instead of including the ENTIRE helper module, simply use this method like so:
module ApplicationHelper
def fancy_helper(str)
str.titleize
end
end
class MyController < ApplicationController
def index
@title = view_context.fancy_helper "dogs are awesome"
end
end
