Abstract
Cake uses helpers to extend the functionality of views. By placing several view functions in helpers, not only do your views remain light but the application is better organized. There is no precise method for how to organize functions in a helper other than keeping order and maintaining consistency in the application. Helpers are to the view what components and utilities are to the controller. In a way, you could think of components as “controller helpers.”
