how to create global function that can be accessed from any controller and blade file

Question

I have two controller file homecontroller and backendcontroller. What is the best way to create global function and access it from both files?

I found here Arian Acosta's answer helpful but I wonder if there is an easiest way. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Answer 1

Updated:

Step 1 Add folder inside app folder app->Helper

Step 2 add php Class inside Helper folder Eg. Helper.php

Add namespace and class to the Helper.php

namespace App\Helper;

class Helper
{

}

Register this Helper.php into config/app.php file

'aliases' => [
       ....
       'Helper' => App\Helper\Helper::class
 ]

Now, write all the functions inside Helper.php and it will be accessible everywhere.

How to access from Controller?

Step 1 - Add a namespace at top of the controller.

use App\Helper\Helper;

Step 2 - Call function - Assume there a getInformation() inside the Helper Class.

$information = Helper::getInformation()
