Rails Helper Anywhere

Rails Helper Anywhere allows you to access ALL Ruby On Rails helpers. All methods are placed on the class Helper as class methods.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails_helper_anywhere'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rails_helper_anywhere

To use Rails Helpers just place them as class methods on the class Helper.

# Examples of some helpers

Helper.link_to('Home', '/') #=> '<a href="/">home page</a>'
Helper.pins_path #=> '/pins'
Helper.method_from_custom_helpers #=> 'return from custom method in ApplicationHelper module'

The Helper Class is most useful in custom classes or custom tests. Instead of including the helper modules that you need, just use the Helper class methods.

class MyCustomClass
  def my_method_root_path
    Helper.root_path
  end
end

RSpec.describe MyCustomClass do
  describe '#my_method_root_path' do
    it 'returns root path' do
      expect(Helper.root_path).to eq(MyCustomClass.new.my_method_root_path)
    end
  end
end
