Laravel-specific helper functions.

Installation

Add npmweb/laravel-helpers as a requirement to composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "npmweb/laravel-helpers": "1.*"
    }
}

Update your packages with composer update.

Usage

The following helper methods are loaded by default:

String Helpers

• pluralize( $num, $item ) - outputs a singular or plural description of a number of items, appropriate to the number. For example, '1 apple' or '2 apples'

Env Helpers

• endpoint() - returns the name of the endpoint being accessed, for example 'frontend' or 'backend'. This is not a standard Laravel feature; it's a NpmWeb team convention. You can configure it by setting ENDPOINT in your .env file.
• is_endpoint($endpoint) - returns true if the current endpoint is the specified one. You can also do is_frontend() or is_backend() if you're using either of those two endpoints.
• is_env() - returns true if the current environment is the specified one, for example 'local' or 'production'. You can also do is_local(), is_dev(), is_test(), or is_production() if you're using one of those standard environments.
