🚀 Laravel HelperBox — 600+ Powerful Laravel Helper Functions

Make Laravel development faster, cleaner, and more productive. Laravel HelperBox ships 600+ high-quality helper functions across arrays, strings, dates, Blade, Eloquent/database, caching, HTTP/APIs, security, math/algorithms, data science, geo utilities, frontend optimizations, system monitoring, and more.

Built for modern Laravel (9–12), fully framework-native, no macros or monoliths — just handy, well-named functions you can drop into any project.

✨ Highlights

• 600+ unique helpers not in PHP or Laravel core
• Organized into focused categories in src/Helpers
• Autoloaded via HelperServiceProvider — zero setup
• Production-ready: caching, DB utilities, security, performance, analytics

📦 Installation

composer require subhashladumor/laravel-helperbox

Laravel auto-discovers the provider: Subhashladumor\LaravelHelperbox\HelperServiceProvider.

⚡ Usage (quick taste)

// Arrays
$flat = array_flatten_recursive([[1, [2]], 3]); // [1, 2, 3]

// Strings
$slug = str_slugify('Hello, Laravel HelperBox!'); // "hello-laravel-helperbox"

// Cache
$value = cache_with_jitter('dashboard:data', 300, 15, fn () => fetchExpensive());

// DB (detect N+1)
$report = db_detect_n_plus_one(User::query(), ['posts', 'roles']);

// HTTP
$json = http_get_json('https://api.github.com');
