The helper method current_user
is defined and made available as a helper in ApplicationController
like this:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
helper_method :current_user
def current_user
return @current_user if defined?(@current_user)
@current_user = current_user_session && current_user_session.record
end
end
My question is how I can use the current_user
helper method in a mailer template (obviously it will always return nil
, but I'm trying to render a partial that depends on it).
Normally when I want to use helpers in a mailer, I do something like add_template_helper(SongsHelper)
, but since the helper is defined in a class instead of a module I'm not sure what to do
