Having a folder with multiple files allows us to avoid one big file that gets too long and unmanageable.

1. Create a folder in app directory named "Helpers"

2. Run command "php artisan make:provider HelperServiceProvider"

3. Within the register method of Providers/HelperServiceProvider.php add below lines:

    foreach (glob(app_path().'/Helpers/*.php') as $filename){
        require_once($filename);
    }
   

4. Register the service provider in config/app.php in the providers array

    App\Providers\HelperServiceProvider::class,
   

5. Run command "composer dump-autoload"
