Creating a custom helper class in Laravel involves creating a class with static methods that encapsulate the desired functionality. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Create a Helper Class:

Create a new PHP class in your Laravel application, for example, in the app/Helpers directory. You can name it something like CustomHelper.php.

// app/Helpers/CustomHelper.php

namespace App\Helpers;

class CustomHelper
{
public static function customFunction()
{
return 'Custom function executed!';
}

public static function anotherFunction($parameter)
{
return 'Received parameter: ' . $parameter;
}
}

2. Register the Helper Class:

Laravel autoloads classes following the PSR-4 namespace convention. To autoload your custom helper class, add its namespace to the composer.json file in the

autoload section:

"autoload": {
"classmap": [
// ...
],
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/",
"App\\Helpers\\": "app/Helpers/"
}
},

After modifying composer.json, run the following command to autoload the new class:

composer dump-autoload

3. Use the Helper Class:

You can now use your custom helper class anywhere in your Laravel application. For example, in a controller or another class:

// In a controller or another class
use App\Helpers\CustomHelper;

class YourController extends Controller
{
public function yourMethod()
{
$result = CustomHelper::customFunction();
// Use $result...
}
}

Make sure to import the helper class at the top of the file where you want to use it.

That's it! You've created a custom helper class in Laravel. This approach helps keep your code organized and makes it easy to reuse common functionality throughout your application.

Hope it will help you.....
