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

There are some great answers here but i think this is the simplest. In Laravel 5.4 (and prob earlier versions too) you can create a class somewhere convenient for you, eg App/Libraries/Helper.php

class Helper() {
    public function uppercasePara($str) {
        return '
' .strtoupper($str). '
;
    }
}

Then you can simply call it in your Blade template like this:

@inject('helper', \App\Libraries\Helper)
{{ $helper->drawTimeSelector() }}

If you don't want to use @inject then just make the 'uppercasePara' function as static and embed the call in your Blade template like this:

{{ \App\Libraries\Helper::drawTimeSelector() }}

No need for aliases. Laravel resolves the concrete class automatically.
