How to define a function in Laravel 5.5 before the app starts

Question

In Laravel 5.5, the bootstrap/autoload.php file has been removed. This is where I would have defined a function that overwrites the typical Laravel helpers as in this thread.

How can I achieve the same in the 5.5 release? I tried a require at the top of the bootstrap/app.php file with no luck.

I would define my function in a class and bind that class with service container. and call specific method from AppServiceProvider using boot method. ro simply put your code inside boot method. — BetaDev
