Laravel Custom Helper Facade Class Example
Today, In this post i am going to share with you how to create custom global helper functions using Helper Facade in our laravel 5, laravel 6, laravel 7, laravel 8, laravel 9, laravel 10 and laravel 11 application. We always need to define some global functions for our application because that way we can access that helper functions from every file of our project.
In this tutorial i am going to share with you how we can make global helper function in Laravel framework from scratch. It is very important to create custom helper functions we have before start our projects. In this post we learn how to create custom Helper facade, i also posted few days ago "How to create custom helper in Laravel 5?", in that post you can create custom helpers file.
Ok, now we proceed to create custom helper facade to create helper functions, we have to just follow few bellow step to create helper facade.
1) Install Laravel Fresh Application
2) Create Helper Class
3) Register Helper Class
4) Create Route
5) Create View File
Ok so, let's proceed with above steps in brief.
Step 1 : Install Laravel Fresh Application
we are going from scratch, So we require to get fresh Laravel application using bellow command, So open your terminal OR command prompt and run bellow command:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
Step 2 : Create Helper Class

app/Helpers/Helper.php
<?php
namespace App\Helpers;
class Helper

config/app.php
....
'aliases' => [
....
'Helper' => App\Helpers\Helper::class,
]

We are going to create example from scratch so first we add new route "my-helper" for testing helper. So open your route file and add bellow route:
routes/web.php
Route::get('my-helper', function () {
return view('myhelper');
});
Step 5 : Create View File
In this step we will create "myhelper.blade.php" file and we will class Helper facade function, so let's create myhelper.blade.php file and put bellow code.
resources/views/myhelper.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Helper Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>My Helper Example</h2>
<p>{{ Helper::homePageURL() }}</p>
</body>
</html>
Now we are ready to run our example so run bellow command for quick run:
