When to use Helpers instead of Partials

Asked 2008-12-30T01:42:21.277

In a rails application, in which situation would you use a partial and when would you use a helper? I find both very similar, since they represent markup fragments.

Is there a convention around this? which is the 'rails way' of using them?

Thanks!

Partials are the part of view which can have bunch of HTML code along with ruby code. You can also use the partials in controller in render method.

In case of helpers, you can have methods for short html piece of code. You can have some calculations related methods which you want to use in your view file.
