Answer 1

i think best way to define constant using a helper file. check my solution.

Define file path in composer.json

   "extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "dont-discover": []
        }
    },
    "autoload": {
        "files": [
            "app/helpers.php",
            "app/Helper/function.php"  // constant defined here
        ],

app/Helper/function.php

define("assetPath","UI/");
define("viewPath","UI/");

use this constant anywhere in project. i am using in blade file.

my approach is better than this

Config::get('constants.options');
Config::get('constants.options.option_attachment');

here another problem is this , you have to run cache:clear or cache command for this. but my approach not required this.
