to call a controller function from a

Answer 1

Controllers methods are not supposed to be called from the view. Best options are to call the method from the method which is returning the view object, which contains the output which you then can echo in the view;

    public function bar() {
        $foo = $this->foo();
        return view( 'my.view', compact( 'foo' ) );
    }

    protected method foo()
    {
        return 'foobar';
    }

second option to add a helpers file to the compose.json file

"autoload": {
    "files": [
        "app/helpers.php"
    ]
},

dump your autoload and you can call these functions from anywhere inside your application
