README

LaravelHelpers package lets you write your helpers using static class methods and then use them whereever you want in Laravel helpers style

Installation:

composer require danilpetrenko/laravel-helpers
php artisan vendor:publish

You can create Helpers folder inside your app folder and then start writing helpers Note that you must always specify return type of your static method, otherwise no return will be provided ExampleHelper:

static function divideByFive(int $number): int  
{  
  return (int)$number/5;  
}

Then you're supposed to run command

php artisan generate-helpers-autoload

will generate following function inside bootstrap/helpers.php:

function divideByFive(int $number): int{  
  return App\Helpers\TestHelper::divideByFive($number);  
}

Then you should add bootstrap/helpers.php into autoload section of your composer.json file:

"autoload": {  
  "psr-4": {  
  "App\\": "app/",  
        "Database\\Factories\\": "database/factories/",  
        "Database\\Seeders\\": "database/seeders/"  
  },  
  "files": [ "bootstrap/helpers.php" ]  
},

Now you are able to use your helper inside any class or view like Laravel's default helper

<h3>{{divideByFive(25)}}<h3>

PHPDocs will be also copied to autoload file, so helper usage explanation will be available when using function.
