Where to place a global function

Rails
1

Hi all,

I have a little function called format_price(price) that simply formats
the
argument as a dollar sign, dollar amount, dot and penny amount. Then, in
a .rhtml file, I could do this:

<%= format_price(item.unit_price * item.quantity) %>

But where do I put the format_price() function definition? The app
couldn’t
find it in app/controllers/application.rb. Where do I put it so it’s
available to all views?

Thanks

I did the same thing until I realized it was built in:

Thanks James,

Confirmed! It worked perfectly placing it where you suggested.
