Helpers

Helper methods in rails are used only in views, not controllers. If you want to make a method available to multiple controllers, you can declare it in the ApplicationController, which is the base class for all your controllers. If you want the method to be visible to views, declare it as a helper_method.

##Letting Your ActiveRecord Associations Help

Suppose you have the following models:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :blogs
  has_many :posts, through: :blogs
  has_many :received_comments, through: :posts, source: :comments
  has_many :expressed_comments, class_name: 'Comment', foreign_key: 'user_id'

//variables declared in global scope become properties of the window in browser environments
var a = 123;
console.log('a', window.a);

// functions introduce scope. A variable declared inside a function is not visible outside
function f() {
  var b = 456;
  console.log('b', b);
  // inside the function we can still see the global a. We don't need "window." - it's implied
  console.log('a', a);

// ES 6 basics

setTimeout(() => {
  console.log('Hello');
  console.log('Goodbye');
}, 200);

// One - liners can omit the { }
// and implicitly return the value of their statement
setTimeout(() => 5, 200)

// Here we forget the ! character that unwraps the optional
