copied!<p>You can add private methods to your controllers and call them within your action methods:</p> <pre><code>class MyController < ApplicationController # snip ... def my_action @variable1 = get_variable1() @variable2 = get_variable2() @variable3 = get_variable3() @action_specific_variable = Model4.where(my_condition) end def my_other_action @variable1 = get_variable1() @variable2 = get_variable2() @variable3 = get_variable3() @action_specific_variable = Model5.where(my_other_condition) end private def get_variable1() return Model1.where(some conditions) end def get_variable2() return Model2.where(some other conditions) end def get_variable3() return Model3.where(some third conditions) end end </code></pre> <p>If you need the logic to get these variables to be available across controllers, create a new utility module in you <code>lib</code> folder. For example, you might make a file <code>lib/utilities.rb</code> that contains</p> <pre><code>module Utilities def self.get_variable1() return Model1.where(some conditions) end def self.get_variable2() return Model2.where(some other conditions) end def self.get_variable3() return Model3.where(some third conditions) end end </code></pre> <p>and then your controller would look like</p> <pre><code>class MyController < ApplicationController # snip ... def my_action @variable1 = Utilities::get_variable1() @variable2 = Utilities::get_variable2() @variable3 = Utilities::get_variable3() @action_specific_variable = Model4.where(my_condition) end def my_other_action @variable1 = Utilities::get_variable1() @variable2 = Utilities::get_variable2() @variable3 = Utilities::get_variable3() @action_specific_variable = Model5.where(my_other_condition) end end </code></pre>
