Best Practices for Custom Helpers in Laravel 5

Question

I would like to create helper functions to avoid repeating code between views in Laravel 5:

view.blade.php

Foo Formated text: {{ fo         


        

Answer 1

instead of including your custom helper class, you can actually add to your config/app.php file under aliases.

should be look like this.

 'aliases' => [ 
    ...
    ...
    'Helper' => App\Http\Services\Helper::class,
 ]

and then to your Controller, include the Helper using the method 'use Helper' so you can simply call some of the method on your Helper class.

eg. Helper::some_function();

or in resources view you can directly call the Helper class already.

eg. {{Helper::foo()}}

But this is still the developer coding style approach to be followed. We may have different way of solving problems, and i just want to share what i have too for beginners.
