Dennis HackethalOP·#325

Only version leading to #328 (5 total)

Hiccdown methods should live in their own, separate modules. How about they are called ‘displays’?

ruby
module ProductsDisplay
  def self.index vc, # …
    vc.some_helper_method
  end
end

A benefit of this approach is that, when people start a new Rails app, they may end up putting whatever they’d otherwise put in a helper in a display, since displays have the benefit of having unambiguously resolvable method names.

Instance variables are not available inside the methods.

They are: vc.instance_variable_get(:@foo)

That’s way too verbose.
