I have two functions 

function toCents(number) {
    number = number.replace("$","");
    arr = number.split(".");
    arr[0] = parseInt(arr[0]) * 100;
    if(arr[1].length === 1){
        arr[1] = parseInt(arr[1]) * 10;
    }else{
        arr[1] = parseInt(arr[1]);
    }
    number = arr[0] + arr[1];
    return number;
}

and

function centsToDollar(cents){
    cents = String(cents);
    position = cents.length - 2;
    return ["$", cents.slice(0,position), ".", cents.slice(position)].join("");
}

is there a place for me to put these functions so that they will be available in every javascript file through out my rails application similar to how helper methods are used?

also is there a more standard way of converting dollars in string form to cents then back to dollar format with javascript?

    Wouldn't storing them in your application.js be sufficient? Commented Dec 8, 2016 at 4:17
