# set of standardized methods for working with forms (FormHelper), dates (DateHelper), texts (TextHelper), and
# Active Records (ActiveRecordHelper) that's available to all templates by default.
#
# It's also really easy to make your own helpers and it's much encouraged to keep the template files free
# from complicated logic. It's even encouraged to bundle common compositions of methods from other helpers
# (often the common helpers) as they're used by the specific application.
