Qit Helper Package
==================

[](#qit-helper-package)

A collection of helper utilities for Laravel applications, providing YouTube video embedding and image processing capabilities.

Description
-----------

[](#description)

This package provides essential helper functions for Laravel applications, including YouTube video iframe generation and image resizing with caching capabilities. Perfect for content management systems and media-heavy applications.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via Composer:

```
composer require qit/helper
```

**Note:** This package requires the Intervention Image library for image processing (V3):

```
composer require intervention/image
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

After installation, you need to register the service provider in your Laravel application.

### Laravel 5.5+ (Auto-Discovery)

[](#laravel-55-auto-discovery)

The package will automatically register itself via Laravel's package auto-discovery feature.

### Manual Registration (Laravel 5.4 and below)

[](#manual-registration-laravel-54-and-below)

Add the service provider to your `config/app.php` file:

```
'providers' => [
    // Other service providers...
    Qit\Helper\HelperServiceProvider::class,
],
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### YouTube Video Embedding

[](#youtube-video-embedding)

Generate YouTube video iframes or links from YouTube URLs:

```
use Qit\Helper\functions\HelperGeneral;

// Generate an iframe (default)
$iframe = HelperGeneral::Youtube('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ');

// Generate with custom dimensions
$iframe = HelperGeneral::Youtube(
    'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ',
    width: 800,
    height: 450,
    title: 'My Custom Video'
);

// Generate a clickable link instead of iframe
$link = HelperGeneral::Youtube(
    'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ',
    title: 'Watch Video',
    iframe: false
);
```

**Supported YouTube URL formats:**

- `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID`
- `https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID`
- `https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID`

### Image Resizing and Caching

[](#image-resizing-and-caching)

Resize images and create cached versions with optional small thumbnails:

```
use Qit\Helper\functions\HelperGeneral;

// Basic resize - creates a cached version
HelperGeneral::ImgResize('image.jpg', 'uploads', 800, 600);

// Resize with small thumbnail
HelperGeneral::ImgResize(
    filename: 'image.jpg',
    path: 'uploads',
    weight: 800,
    height: 600,
    smallweight: 150,
    smallheight: 150
);

// Keep original aspect ratio (pass null for dimensions)
HelperGeneral::ImgResize('image.jpg', 'uploads', 'cache', 'small', 800, null);

// Custom folder names for cache and thumbnails
HelperGeneral::ImgResize('product.jpg', 'products', 'optimized', 'thumbs', 1200, 800, 200, 200);
```

**Image file structure created:**

```
storage/
├── uploads/
│   ├── image.jpg (original)
│   ├── cache/
│   │   └── image.jpg (resized version)
│   └── small/
│       └── image.jpg (thumbnail, if specified)

```

### E-commerce Order Status Management

[](#e-commerce-order-status-management)

Manage order statuses with predefined status codes and names:

```
use Qit\Helper\functions\HelperShop;

// Get a specific order status name
$statusName = HelperShop::getOrderStatusName(1);
// Returns: "Confirmed"

// Handle unknown status codes
$statusName = HelperShop::getOrderStatusName(999);
// Returns: "Unknown Status"

// Get all available order statuses
$allStatuses = HelperShop::getOrderStatusName(null, true);
// Returns: [
//     0 => 'Pending',
//     1 => 'Confirmed',
//     2 => 'Processing',
//     3 => 'Shipped',
//     4 => 'Cancelled',
//     5 => 'Delivered'
// ]

// Usage in a loop for displaying order status options
foreach (HelperShop::getOrderStatusName(null, true) as $code => $name) {
    echo "{$name}";
}
```
