This package consolidates a set of commonly used utility functions for Laravel. It aims to streamline development by providing practical and reusable tools for common tasks. Whether it's string manipulation, date handling, or other routine operations, this helper package simplifies developers' lives by centralizing these essential functionalities.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require piscarocarlos/helpify

And then, if using Laravel 5, include the service provider within `config/app.php`.

```
'providers' => [
    Piscarocarlos\Helpify\HelpifyServiceProvider::class,
];
```

And, for convenience, add a facade alias to this same file at the bottom:

```
'aliases' => [
    'Helpify' => Piscarocarlos\Helpify\Facades\Helpify::class,
];
```
