Re: Components vs Helpers vs Utilities

I am having difficulty thinking of a time when I would need the same function to be called in my model and my view. On my current project, I am also needing to manipulate my dates as I have a non standard way of saving them in the database. What I have done is manipulated them in the controller using a Component so these functions can used in different controllers. I get the data from the model, use the functions in my component to manipulate the data and then pass that to the view, which displays it as is.

Is that similar to what you are trying or am I misunderstanding your goals?
