Laravel 5 Helper functions

itemprop="text">

Does anyone know where the source code
is located for the built in Laravel 5 helper functions like view() and str_limit()? I am
curious to see how they are doing things in the background.

Answer

view function is located under

/vendor/laravel/framework/source/illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php

line
number 585

content is as
follows:

if ( !
            function_exists('view'))
{
/**
 * Get the evaluated view
            contents for the given view.

 *
 * @param string
            $view
 * @param array $data
 * @param array $mergeData
 *
            @return \Illuminate\View\View
 */
function view($view = null, $data
            = array(), $mergeData = array())
{
 $factory =
            app('Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory');


 if
            (func_num_args() === 0)
 {
 return $factory;

            }

 return $factory->make($view, $data,
            $mergeData);
}
}

start
using an IDE like Php storm and you can find all this functions with a single click
