How to access TextHelper from Lib?

Rails
1

Hi,

I’ve written a class sitting in a file in the Lib directory and this
class needs to use strip_tags from TextHelper. I’ve added

include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper

to the class but Ruby complains that the method strip_tags doesn’t
exist. How can I access ActionView methods from a a class in Lib?

Thanks.

Are you trying to call strip_tags from a class or instance context?
If you want to add the helpers as class methods, instead use

 extend ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper
