在非类帮助文件中添加 Laravel 依赖项

Question

I recently upgraded Laravel version in the project to 6.x.

Now I know the helpers class have been removed from Laravel 6.0 version.

But anyway I need to keep the [root-dir]/helpers.php file which is functions oriented, non-class file containing general purpose helper functions.

In that file I need to replace all the custom functions starting with str_ like str_contains with Illumimnate\Support\Str counterparts like Str::contains . For example:

if(!function_exists('is_bot'))
{
    /**
     * userAgent is the user-agent header
     * from the request object
     * @param $userAgent
     * @return bool
     */
    function is_bot($userAgent)
    {
        return str_contains($userAgent, config('bot_check'));
    }
}

How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can only use namespace and use within class files. You could transform your helpers.php file into a class like this:

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

class Helper
{
    public static function is_bot($userAgent)
    {
        return Str::contains($userAgent, config('bot_check'));
    }
}

And call is_bot function inside your Laravel application with \App\Helper::is_bot($userAgent) .

The helpers removed due to a guy being complaining about them however they moved it to a new package https://github.com/laravel/helpers
