🧰 Utility Kit – PHP Helper Functions Package
============================================

[](#-utility-kit--php-helper-functions-package)

A lightweight collection of reusable PHP helper functions designed to simplify common tasks.
Use it in any PHP project or integrate directly into Laravel. Clean, minimal, and extensible.

---

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

Require the package via Composer:

```
composer require arshahin/utility-kit
```

---

⚙️ Usage
--------

[](#️-usage)

Import and use the helper methods statically:

```
use ARShahin\UtilityKit\Helpers\StringHelper;

StringHelper::startsWith("Laravel", "Lar"); // true
```

You can also use the helper functions if you have configured them with Laravel's service provider and facade system.
