Helper class in laravel is a class that contains all those functions which are performs common tasks and can be reused in our application. Here we will create a class which contains reusable functions and these functions can be called every where in your laravel application. So let’s start to create our helper class that will globally accessible.
How to create helper class in laravel
- Create a folder inside app directory where your class file will locate. I create helper
- Create a php file. I create Helper.php
- Now declare your class and functions inside the Helper.php file
<?php
class Helper{
//Return specific data of any column of a table
public static function name($id,$model,$ret){
$get=$model::where('id','=',$id)->get();
foreach ($get as $key => $gets) {
return $gets->$ret;
}
}
// Get all data in array form of a table by passing model name
public static function getAll($model){
$get=$model::all();
return $get;
}
public static function getSpecific($model,$col,$condition){
$get=$model::where($col,"like",'%'.$condition.'%')->get();
return $get;
}
public static function getColumn($model,$col,$condition,$operator,$ret){
if($operator=='like'){
$condition='%'.$condition.'%';
}
$get=$model::where($col,$operator,$condition)->get();
foreach ($get as $key => $value) {
return $value->$ret;
}
}
}
?>
- Open your composer.json file and write your file location here
"files": [ "app/Helper/Helper.php", ]
- Run composer dump-autoload command
composer dump-autoload command
- And now finally your class is ready to access into overall laravel application. Trying to access a static function of Helper class named ‘name($id,$model,$ret)’. This function takes 3 parameters
Laravel 5.6 is going to release .check new features.
- $id – id of the row
- $model – Name of model where we will search record.
- $ret – Name of returning column after matching record successfully in the table. like email,name etc.
