Where to write custom functions in laravel?

Question

Laravel

Good afternoon everyone. Where can I write my functions in the laravel framework so that they can then be called from any site file? Suppose I write a function that will form a slug (change the original sentence, and return it as a transliteration), but this is not important. And so, what then I could cause this function it is admissible from any controller?

Answer 1

In composer.json something like this

"autoload": {
   ....
        "files": [
            "app/helpers.php"
        ]
    },

Next, create a helpers.php file in the app and add functions there

Answer 2

1. The task of slug transliteration is successfully solved by the standard helper: it
will return
mama-myla-ramu
2. Custom helpers are created as follows:
add a section to composer.json

"autoload": {
        "files": [
            "app/Support/helpers.php"
        ],

in app, create the Support folder and add helpers.php to it
and write our helper functions to it, for example:

if (! function_exists('copyrightYear')) {
    function copyrightYear(int $startYear, string $dash = '–'): string
    {
        return $startYear . ($startYear == ($currentYear=date("Y")) ? '' : $dash . $currentYear);
    }
}
