How to Create Your Own Helper Functions in Laravel

• Laravel

  Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We’ve already laid the foundation for your next big idea — freeing you to create without sweating the small things.

  

Helper functions can be extremely useful in your Laravel projects. They can help to simplify your code in your projects in a clean and easy way. Laravel comes with many helper functions out-the-box such as dd(), abort() and session(). But as your projects start to grow, you'll likely find that you'll want to add your own.

• Composer

Now that we've created our helper file, we need to register it so that we can use our new function. To do this, we can update our composer.json file so that our file is loaded at runtime on each request and is available for using. This is possible because Laravel includes the Composer class loader in the public/index.php file.
