I add a app/helpers.php file to every project for any custom helpers I might want to create.
Everytime I go to add one to a project, I have to dig up how to autoload a single file in my composer.json.
No more will I suffer.
composer require calebporzio/laravel-helpers-file
php artisan calebporzio:helpers
This command will create a app/helpers.php file in your project and handle the autoloading for you automatically.
Hope this silly lil' package comes in handy for you.
