09. Helpers

Helpers are classes that preform some specific function to assist development. The default framework only contains one helper but you can easily add more as the project needs them.

Helpers are located in the base/helpers folder. To add a new helper create a new file in this folder with the name example_helper.php, containing a class called ExampleHelper.

To use a helper you need to require it in the file it will used in. Because all request execution originates from index.php, all requires have the same path:

require "base/helpers/example_helper.php";

BootstrapHelper

The default helper can be used to easily add Bootstrap4 pagination to a view.

<?= BootstrapHelper::Pagination( $totalPages, $currentPage ) ?>
