Ok, in laravel 4, if I want to add my own custom class, eg : library\myFunction.php then I do the following steps :
-
add "myFunction.php" into app/myfolder/myFunction.php
-
at app/start/global.php , within ClassLoader::addDirectories(array( , I add app_path().'/myfolder',
-
And to call it within my blade view, I add the following codes :
<?php $FmyFunction1 = new myFunction; $is_ok1=($FmyFunction1->is_ok()); ?>
And it works.
But how to do so in Laravel 5 ???
PS : I read What are the best practices and best places for laravel 4 helpers or basic functions?
And tried to add "app/myfolder/", to the autoload array and run composer dum-autoload , but it keeps give me error :
FatalErrorException in xxxx line xx: Class 'myFunction' not found
Have you named your class that ? Just give it a look.
Yes, I already do. Those class is working just fine in Laravel 4.
BTW nice Bioman avatar :)
Are you properly importing the class ? I assume you have put that class in global namespace.
L5 uses PSR-4 autoloading, try keeping your classes in namespaced.
... tX !
Here are my steps :
The content for app/library/myFunctions.php is below :
<?php namespace App\library {
class myFunctions {
public function is_ok() {
return 'myFunction is OK';
}
}
}
?>
At resources/views/test.blade.php , I added :
<?php
$FmyFunctions1 = new myFunctions;
$is_ok = ($FmyFunctions1->is_ok());
?>
Then at composer.json within "autoload": I added :
"files": [
"app/library/myFunctions.php"
],
And within app\Http\Controllers\HomeController.php at public index() I add :
return view('test');
But it always give me error messages regarding 'myFunctions' as below :
Whoops, looks like something went wrong. 1/1 FatalErrorException in xxxx line 7: Class 'myFunctions' not found in xxxx line 7 at HandleExceptions->handleShutdown()
