How to use the “number_to_currency” helper method in the model rather than view?

Question

I would like to use to_dollar method in my model like this:

module JobsHelper      
  def to_dollar(amount)
    if amount < 0
      number_to_cur

Really surprised not one person has talked about using a Decorator. Their purpose is to solve the issue you are facing, and more.

EDIT: Looks like the accepted answer basically did suggest doing something like this. But yeah, you want to use decorators. Here's a great tutorial series to help you understand more:
