laravel-helper is a package full of helper functions I found useful when developing applications with Laravel. All functions are wrapped with a functions_exists()
in case of conflicts.
Also have a look at
- https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/helpers
- http://calebporzio.com/11-awesome-laravel-helper-functions (abandoned?)
- https://packagist.org/packages/illuminated/helper-functions
- https://packagist.org/packages/laravel/helper-functions
Ideas what should go in here? Write a pull request or email!
$ composer require repat/laravel-helper
⚠️ The majority of helper functions are now in repat/php-helper which this package is based on. You can find the documentation at https://github.com/repat/php-helper
Returns an array of MySQL headers/columns or empty array in case of an error. If the second parameter is set true
(default is false
) it returns an associative array.
print_r(mysql_headers("test_table"));
// returns: Array( [0] => head1, [1] => head2 )
print_r(mysql_headers("test_table", $assoc = true));
// returns: Array( [head1] => head1, [head2] => head2)
Returns the database table headers, similar to mysql_headers()
, but based on an object of a Eloquent Model.
use App\Models\User;
$user = User::first();
print_r(table_headers($user));
// returns: Array( 1 => id, 2 => name, ...)
print_r()
the session of current user.
print_db_session();
// returns:
// Array
// (
// [_token] => 7Au0aYkJVxQVA3xQBfdJwKNaWxUv0UVJKublCqMn
// [locale] => en
// ...
// )
Returns a unique slug for an Eloquent Model given the following parameters:
$toSlug
: suggestion for the slug$field
: name of the database field, usuallyslug
$fqcn
: Fully qualified class name of Eloquent Model$id
: id to exclude (e.g. it's own on update)$pk
: primary key of the database table, defaults toid
Will append a number if $toSlug
is already taken.
use App\Model\User;
$user = User::first();
$user->id;
// returns: 1
$user->slug;
// returns: foobar
get_free_slug('foobar', 'slug', User::class, 1, 'id');
// returns: foobar1
Inserts values into ?
from the ->toSql()
string.
insert_bindings(DB::table('users')->where('id', 1));
// returns: SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `id` = '1'
Returns the morphMap from AppServiceProvider
set with Relation::morphMap()
.
morph_map();
// returns:Array
// (
// [user] => App\Models\User
// )
Reverse lookup for a class in the morphMap of the AppServiceProvider
set with Relation::morphMap()
.
use App\Models\User;
morph_map_key(User::class);
// returns: 'user'
Returns Cache for given key or adds the return value from the callable to the cache and then returns it.
use App\Models\Post;
$posts = cache_get_or_add('posts', function() {
return Post::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();
});
Dispatches jobs from the tinker REPL.
dispatch_tinker(new \App\Jobs\CleanupJob());
// returns: 1 (id of job)
Get the path to the Laravel routes folder, similar to app_path()
, see Helpers Documentation. It will append $path
but it's not mandatory.
route_path();
// returns: /var/www/htdocs/laravel/routes
route_path('web.php');
// returns: /var/www/htdocs/laravel/routes/web.php
Returns array of all named routes in a routes file or null
on error. It's possible to pass an HTTP verb/method defined in HTTP_VERBS_LARAVEL
(see below).
named_routes('/var/www/htdocs/laravel/routes/web.php');
// returns: [
// 'laravel.get'
// 'laravel.post'
// ]
named_routes('/var/www/htdocs/laravel/routes/web.php', 'get');
// returns: [
// 'laravel.get'
// ]
If the current route has a name, otherwise return null
.
// in routes/web.php
// Route::name('dev.foo')->get('foo', 'Dev\TestController@foo');
// Route::get('bar', 'Dev\TestController@bar');
// in Dev/TestController@foo
current_route_name();
// returns: dev.foo
// in Dev/TestController@foo
current_route_name();
// returns: null
Returns an array of all routes like so:
all_routes();
// returns:
// "name" => 'route.test', // could be null
// "methods" => [
// "GET",
// "HEAD",
// ],
// "uri" => "test",
// "action" => "\App\Http\Controllers\TestController@test",
Checks if the given route is a named route in any routes file.
route_exists('route.test');
// returns: true
route_exists('route.foobar')
// returns: false
Optional packages suggested by this are required for these functions to work.
Uses astrotomic/laravel-translatable and Reflection to get the translatedAttributes
attribute of a Model.
$ composer require astrotomic/laravel-translatable
use App\Models\Product;
translated_attributes(Product::class);
// returns: ['title', 'description'];
Extracts an inline image from a text, saves it on the harddrive and puts in the filename with the src attribute. Can use the spatie/laravel-image-optimizer to optimize images after upload but it's disabled by default.
$ composer require spatie/laravel-image-optimizer
extract_inline_img("<img src='data:image/jpeg;base64,...>", '/var/www/htdocs/laravel/storage/foobar', 'public/images', true);
// returns: <img src="public/images/fj3209fjew93.jpg">
