Laravel - How to call static function without instantiate object

Question

Is there any way in Laravel (5.2) to call static and/or non-static function in a custom object without having to instantiate the referring object in all classes it is used?

Example: I have class App\Helpers\Utilities.php with public function doBeforeTask()

I'm using this method in allot of classes within my project and it would be pretty if i could just call Utilities::doBeforeTask() or Utilities->doBeforeTask() without creating a instance of my Utilities object $obj = new Utilities();

Answer 1

define your method as static method. and call it anywhere with following code:

Utilities::doBeforeTask();

Code structure of file App\Helpers\Utilities.php

namespace App\Library;

class Utilities {

 //added new user
 public static function doBeforeTask() {
  // ... you business logic.
 }
}

Answer 2

Define your method as a static method. and call it anywhere

let's take an example

 namespace App\Http\Utility;

    class ClassName{

        public static function methodName(){
         // ... you business logic.
        }
    }

where you want to use specify the namespace

like this:

use App\Http\Utility\ClassName;

ClassName::methodName();

Don't forget to run

composer dump-autoload
