How to call static function from Helper in Laravel blade file?

We have already discussed creating custom helper functions (Global Function) in Laravel in a previous article. So today’s article we discuss a different approach to achieve the same feature, and this function can be called from the blade template as well.

Step 1. Add this code in your composer.json file located in the root directory

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/"
    },
    "files": [
        "app/Http/Helpers/Helper.php"
    ]
},

Step 2. Create a file called Helper.php in app/Http/Helpers folder with a sample function

<?php
namespace App\Http\Helpers;

class Helper {
    public static function currentTime() {
        return time();
    }
}

Step 3. Add alias method in config/app.php

'Helper'=> App\Http\Helpers\Helper::class,

That’s it you can use your function in the blade template like the below snippet

{{ Helper::currentTime() }}
