How to call static function from Helper in Laravel blade file?

Question

I have custom class in path:

app/Http/Helpers/Helper/Helper.php

with namespace is: namespace App\Helpers;

It has a static method:

public static function getMonthName($monthNumber)
{
    return date("F", mktime(0, 0, 0, $monthNumber, 1));
}

I tried to call this method from template Laravel:

{{ \App\Http\Helpers\Helper::getMonthName($i) }}

But it does not work:

Class 'App\Http\Helpers\Helper' not found

Reference the namespace App\Helpers\Helper::getMonthName($i) or update your namespace to namespace App\Http\Helpers; should do the trick — HelloSpeakman

update the namespace to be :

namespace App\Http\Helpers\Helper;

namespace must be the same as the class path, because laravel uses spl_autoload to load classes dynamically

Do it like everyone else, make helpers.php (in root, where .env file is).

if (! function_exists('get_month_name')) {
    function get_month_name(int $month)
    {
        return date('F', mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 1));
    }
}

and in your composer.json autoload it:

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/"
    },
    "files": [
        "helpers.php"
    ]
},

now you are able to call your helper function everywhere in code base

If someone is trying out to use helpers function in a blade make sure you do the following things.

//composer.json

"files":[
        "app/Helpers/Helper.php"
 ],


//app.php

'aliases'=> [
 ...
 'Helper'=> 'App\Helpers\Helper::class',
 ]

and in your blade you could use if Helper.php are static functions

{{ Helper::getStatusColor($item->status) }}

'App\Helpers\Helper::class', probably this doesn't need quotation.

Best to add it to your config/app.php.

'aliases' => [
    'Helper' => App\Helpers\Helper::class,
]
