By convention, should the following be defined as an instance method of my model or a helper method?
# app/models/user开发者_开发问答.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
def full_name
"#{first_name} #{last_name}"
end
end
or
# app/helpers/users_helper.rb
module UsersHelper
def full_name
"#{@user.first_name} #{@user.last_name}"
end
end
Many thanks.
Go with the first (keep in model), also because you might want to do other stuff, like combined indexes :)
Everything directly related to your model should stay in your model.
This way, you keep coherent logic and tests.
