Hello, I am developing a small widget composed of several form elements, which are connected with javascript code (i.e. what the user does on an element has an impact on what another element shows). At first I put the code in a function in my application helper, but as the widget was evolving, I wanted to put it in a dedicated class, as each instance of the widget needs some business logic. Indeed, sometimes the widget has to be placed several times on a page, and the UI items are not always beside each other (they could be on several rows of a table), so each widget should have several attributes (such as the DOM id of each of its elements) and several methods (e.g. to display each part of the widget as needed). So I made a class in the /lib directory, containing all the code of the widget. This is elegant, but then I noticed that I cannot use ActionView helper functions (such as select_tag or javascript_tag) from within that class. I know that I could include all the needed ActionView::Helpers modules in the class, but is it really the best way to do that ? How would you develop such a reusable widget, composed of html elements, javascript and some ruby logic ?
