How to call methods defined in ApplicationController in models

Question

I have defined method in ApplicationController

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
   helper_method :get_active_gateway
   def get_active         


        

Answer 1

Why would you need such thing? The model should not know about its controllers. Maybe a redesign of your system will be more appropriate in this case.

Answer 2

As a design choice, its not recommended to call controller helpers from your models.

You can just simply pass the required details to your model methods as arguments.

def transfer(active_gateway)
  active = active_gateway
end
