### Helpers

[](#helpers)

#### String Helper

[](#string-helper)

```
$ids = AlwaysOpen\Helpers\Strings::stringIdsToCollection('1,3,45, asdf,66,1,45,3');
var_dump($ids);
```

#### Routes Helper

[](#routes-helper)

This helper stops redirect loops where a `url()->previous()` might be used but the user could have directly input the url so `previous` and `current` are the same. This helper stops that from happening while allowing you to specify where to go if that scenario happens.

If the user can edit user profiles and reach it from multiple screens the redirect response after saving might look like this:

```
return response()->redirectTo(
    AlwaysOpen\Helpers\Routes::toRouteIfBackIsLoop('user.report')
);
```

Here the user will either go to their previous URL or get sent to the user report.

### Traits
