ProductsHelper.index
StoresHelper.index
Does that mean they wouldn’t have the view_context? If so, calling helper methods from inside these class methods wouldn’t be possible.
Does that mean they wouldn’t have access to the view_context? If so, calling helper methods from inside these class methods wouldn’t be possible.
If so, there might be a way to bind them to the view_context. Or I could definitely pass the view_context explicitly as the first parameter.

So instead of
@helper_module.instance_method(@action_name).bind_call(view_context)
I would do
@helper_module.send(@action_name, view_context)
And the parameter list of each Hiccdown method would start accordingly:
module ProductsHelper
def self.index vc #, …
# …
end
end
