NameError - undefined local variable or method view_context for controller inheriting from ActionController::API

[ravibhusal]

Rails version: 6.0.3.6
Filterrific version: 5.2.1

As the title says, I am getting NameError - undefined local variable or method view_context when trying to use Filterrific in a controller inheriting from ActionController::API.

I have traced down the problem to

filterrific/lib/filterrific/action_controller_extension.rb

Lines 101 to 103 in 312d071

	when String
	helpers.sanitize(val)
	else

where the helpers method calls view_context which is undefined because its not available for ActionController::API. I think it makes sense.

For now, I can set sanitize_param to false and sanitize the params myself. I just want to make sure its an actual issue and not just something occurring only on my end because of some misconfiguration.

Thank you for the help and the gem!
