Solve Sinatra helpers not found, one reason

This code is wrong because access_db is declared outside of a Sinatra::Base block. app in self.registered is a Sinatra base class with functions. helpers cannot exist outside of those functions.

 # require_relative '../helpers/models'

        def self.registered(app)
          clients_db = access_db(Archcare::Logbook::Model::Client)
          clients_for_privilege_level = is_admin? ? clients_db.get_all_documents : get_clients_for_user(current_user_id)
          app.get '/client-report' do
            if logged_in?
              erb :creport,locals: {:title => "New Client Report" ,
                                    :cookie => has_agreed?,
                                    # get all clients from the database
                                    :clients => clients_for_privilege_level}
            elsif !logged_in?
              redirect '/login'
            end
            end

this code produced this error.

hope this helps!
