1- add helper.php in your app directory then put the helper functions:
<?php
if(!function_exists('public_path'))
{
/**
* Return the path to public dir
* @param null $path
* @return string
*/
function public_path($path=null)
{
return rtrim(app()->basePath('public/'.$path), '/');
}
}
if(!function_exists('storage_path'))
{
/**
* Return the path to storage dir
* @param null $path
* @return string
*/
function storage_path($path=null)
{
return app()->storagePath($path);
}
}
2- the next step is to autoload the file:
"autoload": {
"files": [
"app/helpers.php"
],
....
}
},
3- and in the final type this command:
composer dump-autoload
