How do I use a static function in blade.php tempate in laravel 4?

Question

I have a class public static method that grabs some database information and returns a integer. In a controller i can call that method just fine. How do i call that static method in a blade template?

For example:

@foreach ($tasks as $task)
  {{Task::percentComplete($task->id)}}%<br />
@endforeach

Thank you

You could either

A- Make it a Facade : http://laravel.com/docs/facades

B- Move it into a helper/library : https://stackoverflow.com/a/13481218/2446119

I personally think that helpers and libraries are much easier and quicker to code, but facades are cleaner.
