What is the Helper functions in Laravel?
Answer
Laravel provides dozens of global helper functions for common tasks. String helpers: Str::slug("Hello World") → "hello-world", Str::studly(), Str::camel(), Str::limit($text, 100), str()->of($text)->upper()->limit(50). Array helpers: Arr::get($array, "user.name", "default"), Arr::only(), Arr::except(), Arr::flatten(). URL helpers: url("path"), secure_url("path"), asset("img/logo.png"). Path helpers: base_path(), app_path(), public_path(), storage_path(), resource_path(). Other: abort(404), back(), now(), today(), optional($user)->name (null-safe), filled($value), blank($value), tap($value, $callback).
