Rails: how can I access the request object outside a helper or controller?
- by rlandster
In my application_helper.rb file I have a function like this:
def internal_request?
server_name = request.env['SERVER_NAME']
[plus more code...]
end
This function is needed in controllers, model, and views. So, I put this code in a utility function file in the lib/ directory. However, this did not work: I got complaints about request not being defined.
How can I access the request object in a file in the lib/ directory?
