Organizing Laravel helpers using Composer
As a Laravel project grows, it is common to see the same small functions repeated in multiple places such as formatting values, checking routes, or handling basic text transformations. Instead of scattering these across controllers or traits, a more structured approach is to collect them into a dedicated helper file. While Laravel does not include a default setup for this, Composer's autoload configuration makes it straightforward to register a custom helper file. This ensures those functions are always available throughout the application without manual includes.
