Helpers

A Package contains some useful classes to help you develop faster

benefits of using package

• you will be able to move migration files to sub directories ex: database/migration/company/xxxxx_create_company_contacts_table.php
• use pagination , filter and search without modifing controller methods or route params . ex : /api/v1/users/search=Abdallah%20Samy&age=27&country_id=27&limit=15 which :
  • @param search for search ,
  • @param age for filtering
  • @param country_id for filtering
  • and @param limit for pagination
