How to create a new library and use it with controller? - sr13579 - 04-19-2021
I am writing a very big application and I think it would be great if i could put that in a library and use it in my controller. How can I easily build up a simple library and use that in my Controller?
Care to give me an example?

Example:
PHP Code:
<?php
namespace App\Libraries;
/**
* Class ExampleLibrary
*
* @package App\Libraries
*
* in your controller or where you load the library
*
* use App\Libraries\Example;
*/
class ExampleLibrary
{
/**
* Class properties go here.
* -------------------------------------------------------------------
* public, private, protected, static and const.
*/
/**
* __construct ()
* -------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* Class Constructor
*
* NOTE: Not needed if not setting values or extending a Class.
*
*/
public function __construct()
{
}
// -------------------------------------------------------------------
} // End of ExampleLibrary Library Class.
/**
* -----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Filename: ExampleLibrary.php
* Location: ./app/Libraries/ExampleLibrary.php
* -----------------------------------------------------------------------

In your controller, use
Code:
use App\Libraries\ExampleLibrary;and then you can instantiate your library class in a method with
Code:
$exampleLibrary = new ExampleLibrary();
