How do I create view helpers in my application?

To create view helpers, you typically define methods that can be used in your views to encapsulate reusable code.

Can you give me an example of a view helper?

Sure! For instance, in a Ruby on Rails application, you might create a helper method like def format_date(date) to format dates consistently.

Where do I place these helper methods?

You usually place them in a helper module, which is automatically included in your views. In Rails, this would be in the app/helpers directory.

Are there any best practices for creating view helpers?

Yes! Keep them simple, avoid complex logic, and ensure they are reusable across different views.
