rails all models

Rails.application.eager_load!
ActiveRecord::Base.descendants

include Rails helpers in cusom class

class Foo
  include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers
  # ... or you can Delegate methods it

  def home_macro
    h.link_to 'Home', root_path
  end

  private

  def h
    ActionController::Base.helpers
  end

end

note you can do include UrlHelper which includes link_to but this will work only for String based urls as this module was changed in Rails 4 ( check source code )

if you keep getting error arguments passed to url_for can't be handled ... your only chance is to use my former code

checkbox, radio input value to boolean

Rails 5, Rails 6, Rails 7

ActiveRecord::Type::Boolean.new.cast "f"

in Rails 4.2

ActiveRecord::Type::Boolean.new.type_cast_from_database(value)

in Rails 3.2 and down

ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.value_to_boolean 'f'  # => false
ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.value_to_boolean 't'  # => true
ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.value_to_boolean '0'  # => false
ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.value_to_boolean '1'  # => true
ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.value_to_boolean nil  # => false

...works the same the only difference is that when nil is passed it returns nil and "y", "n" will give you deprication warning
