Re: Use function in controller AND view

Yeah it says outside.
Inside the view layer you don't use CakeNumber, you use the helper Number:

    $this->Number->...()

which, of course, internally wraps the CakeNumber functionality.

Just one question in addition. The cookbook says

If you need NumberHelper functionalities outside of a View, use the CakeNumber class:

Whats the point using "CakeNumber::" inside of views instead of $this->Number? Is this just a style quqstion or has it any drawbacks?

Thanks,

Hi

Ive a function which converts a number to currency value (e.g. 10 -> 10,00 EUR).

So far I have a custom "TextHelper" with that method within (becuase its view related).

The problem is, now I need this (exactly same) method in a controller (for generating a flash message). Of course I could place this as a simple function in bootstrap.php (and use it in both, controller and view), but as far as I remember this is bad practice. Bad practice too is to clone this functionality in a component for DRY reasons.

So whats the best practice for such a case?

Thanks,

Frank
