Make your own Helper Functions – Laravel

How Make your own Helper Functions.? Well, we just see how and what should be made.

The structure of the folders that I use to create a “Helper Functions”.

Next we create a file “Helpers.php” and saved in the folder “app/Helpers“. In this Helpers.php file we put the functions that later we will call / use in our every need.

Example :

<?php

function AddClassActiveRoute($routes, $output = "active")
{
    if(is_array($routes)){
        foreach ($routes as $route)
        {
            if (Route::currentRouteName() == $route) return $output;
        }
    }
    if (Route::currentRouteName() == $routes)
        return $output;

}

This examples of functions that I created to add the active class.

Next, we have registered Helpers.php file that can be used. How to.? The way we have registered at the ServiceProvider.

Ok, Create a file with the name “HelperFunctionProvider.php“. Save in the folder “app/Providers“.

Follow the example of this code.

<?php namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class HelperFunctionProvider extends ServiceProvider {

   /**
    * Bootstrap the application services.
    *
    * @return void
    */
   public function boot()
   {
      //
   }

   /**
    * Register the Helper Function.
    *
    * @return void
    */
   public function register()
   {  
       foreach (glob(app_path().'/Helpers/*.php') as $filename){
           require_once($filename);
      }
   }

}

I think you understand the purpose of the above code.

Then edit the file config/app.php, add to a providers App\Providers\HelperFunctionProvider :: class .

Well, now you’ve made Helper Functions themselves.
