By Default all helpers are included in all views in Rails. So your UsersHelper methods are available in views of other controller lets say your ProductsController views. So if you wanted to change the default behavior, You need to make a small change in inside config/application.rb config.action_controller.include_all_helpers = false ApplicationHelper is still included in all views. ProductsHelper is only included in ProductsHelper views. If that controller inherits from BaseController, then BaseHelper will be included as well. And here’s is one more trick that you can use For example, We like to have a LayoutHelper that the application layout template can use: app/helpers/layout_helper.rb module LayoutHelper def layout_helper_method "Some layout logic" end end app/helpers/application_helper.rb module ApplicationHelper include LayoutHelper def global_helper_method "Some application logic" end end With include_all_helpers off, t

We are going to create two types of methods Class method and Instance method Lets take an example of class method class User < ActiveRecord::Base define_singleton_method method_name do .. end end define_singleton_method method will create class method, you can use this code in loop to create multiple methods. And you can call this method with class name and method_name so in this case User.method_name Now lets look at instance method class User < ActiveRecord::Base define_method method_name do .. end end   define_method method will create an instance method. And you can call this method with instance of class(object) and method_name so in this case User.first.method_name

A patch file contains a set of changes (i.e., a commit) that can be applied to any branch, in any order. You can convert git commits and differences into patch files. Those can be used to apply to a different repository or by someone else (e.g. sent via e-mail). git diff > changes.patch ">" this sign writes STDOUT to a file This basically creates a new file named "changes.patch" in your application root folder. To apply a patch file you need to use git apply changes.patch

Set perform caching to true inside config/environments/development.rb, you need to restart the server config.action_controller.perform_caching = true   After that install memcached as a gem gem install memcached Add sudo if you are using system ruby, You can also use bundler If you are getting this error "DalliError: No server available" Then you need to install memcached sudo apt-get install memcached
