Helpers

You can create your own global "helper" PHP functions in designated directories, and Apiato will automatically autoload them for you.

Rules

• You MAY create as many helper files as you need per container.
• All container-specific helpers MUST be placed in the app/Containers/{Section}/{Container}/Helpers directory.
• All general helpers MUST be placed in the app/Ship/Helpers directory.

Code Example

if (!function_exists('add')) {
    function add(int $firstNumber, int $secondNumber): int
    {
        return $firstNumber + $secondNumber;
    }
}
