Is there a way to use pluralize() inside a model rather than a view?

Question

It seems pluralize only works within a view -- is there some way that my models can use pluralize too?

Answer 1

Rather than extend things, I just it like this:

ActionController::Base.helpers.pluralize(count, 'mystring') 

Hope this helps someone else!

Answer 2

Add this to your model:

include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper
