Helper Package

Helpers

This is a helpers package that provides some built in helpers, and also provides an Artisan generator to quickly create your own custom helpers.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require browner12/helpers

Setup

Add the service provider to the providers array in config/app.php.

'providers' => [
    browner12\helpers\HelperServiceProvider::class,
];

If you are using Laravel's automatic package discovery, you can skip this step.

Publishing

You can publish everything at once

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="browner12\helpers\HelperServiceProvider"

or you can publish groups individually.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="browner12\helpers\HelperServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Usage

This package comes with some built in helpers that you can choose to use or not. By default all of these helpers are inactive for your application. To adjust which helpers are active and which are inactive, open config/helpers.php and find the package_helpers option. Add any helpers you wish to activate to this key. Check the source code to see what functions are included in each helper and what each does.

You can also create your own custom helpers for inclusion in your application. An Artisan generator helps you quickly make new helpers for your application.

php artisan make:helper MyHelper

Your custom helper will be placed in app/Helpers, unless you override the default directory in your configuration.

By default, the service provider uses the glob function to automatically require any PHP files in the 'Helpers' directory. If you prefer a mapper based approach, you may edit the custom_helpers in the configuration file, and include the file name of any helpers in your custom directory you wish to activate. Within the new helper, define your own custom functions that will be available throughout your application.

if (!function_exists('hello')) {

    /**
     * say hello
     *
     * @param string $name
     * @return string
     */
    function hello($name)
    {
        return 'Hello ' . $name . '!';
    }
}

helpers's Issues

Lumen compatibility

Is there any way this package would work with a Lumen application? Or some way to make it work? I'd love to have my custom helpers available in my Lumen app.

Use PHP v5.5.9 instead of v5.6

Is it possible?

Laravel 5.2 requires PHP >= 5.5.9, and this package brokes these requirements :/

Thanks

5.7 Compatibility

First let me say love great project. Very easy and useful.

With a quick look at https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/releases#laravel-5.7 I dont think this project is effected by the latest version. If I had more free time I would verify by testing it myself.

If everything is good, can we get a bump on the version?

Laravel 6.0 support

Hi,
Would it be possible to add Laravel 6.0 compatibility?
Thanks!

Support for Laravel 5.8.*

Thank you very much. :)

Unable to override laravel helper functions

I'm trying to override a default laravel helper (logger) but is not working.

if (!function_exists('logger')) {
    function logger($message = null, array $context = [])
    {
        if (is_null($message)) {
            return app('log');
        } 

        return app('log')->debug('test', $context);
    }
}

Is there a way to make this work?

Re-inventing a wheel

Hey man, plz take a look at:
https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/master/src/Illuminate/Support/ClassLoader.php

It already implements what this package does, except with ClassLoader you can load classes from anywhere within your project.

Excerpt:

    public static function load($class)
    {
        $class = static::normalizeClass($class);
        foreach (static::$directories as $directory) {
            if (file_exists($path = $directory.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$class)) {
                require_once $path;
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
