How to create custom class or helpers in Laravel 5.*

For create a custom class or helpers or functions in laravel just follow below steps.

I Created Libraries directory under app directory . Where i will put my all custom classes or helpers functions.

Right now i create a Helpers Class under Libraries directory

app/Libraries/Helpers.php

<?phpnamespace App\Libraries;
class Helpers{   public static function test() { return "Test"; }}

?> 

Now I will create a new service provider for autoload all files under libraries directory.
hit below command in terminal or create a new class LibrariesProvider under app/Providers directory.

php artisan make:provider LibrariesProvider

Now  my app/Providers/LibrariesProvide.php is as below:

<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class LibrariesProvider extends ServiceProvider{    /**     * Bootstrap the application services.     *     * @return void     */    public function boot()    {        //    }
    /**     * Register the application services.     *     * @return void     */    public function register()    {        foreach (glob(app_path().'/Libraries/*.php') as $filename){            require($filename);        }    }}

in register method i define that pick all .php files from Libraries directory and load it.

Now put  App\Providers\LibrariesProvider::class into providers array in app.php under config directory

If you want to create alias of your custom class then follow below step.

Here i place my Helper alias for my Helpers class which located under Libraries directory. Put below line into aliases array in app.php under config directory.

'Helper' => App\Libraries\Helpers::class

Now do composer dump-autoload in terminal.

That's it.
