Laravel Helpers
===============

[](#laravel-helpers)

A collection of useful helper functions for Laravel. Also will include user created helper functions.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require taylornetwork/laravel-helpers
```

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

Laravel should automatically discover the package service provider. If that doesn't work for some reason, follow the Manual Setup.

### Manual Setup

[](#manual-setup)

Only use these steps if Laravel does not auto discover the service provider.

Add the service provider to the providers array in your `config/app.php`

```
'providers' => [

	TaylorNetwork\LaravelHelpers\LaravelHelpersServiceProvider::class,

];
```

### Publish Config

[](#publish-config)

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish
```

This adds `laravel_helpers.php` to your `config` directory

Included Helpers
----------------

[](#included-helpers)

Click on any of the links to see the helper documentation

- [replace\_variables](https://github.com/taylornetwork/replace-variables)
- [associative\_implode](https://github.com/taylornetwork/associative-implode)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To create a helper function

```
$ php artisan make:helper HelperName
```

Will create an `app/Helpers` directory and add `HelperName.php`

```
// app/Helpers/HelperName.php

if(!function_exists('HelperName'))
{
	/**
	 * HelperName
	 */
	function HelperName ()
	{
		// Code
	}
}
```

This will automatically be included and you can call `HelperName()` anywhere in your code.

### Customization

[](#customization)

By default `TaylorNetwork\LaravelHelpers\LaravelHelpersServiceProvider` will include all helpers included with this package and all helpers found in `app\Helpers`. You can change this in `config/laravel_helpers.php`
