How to call models methods from helper function in Laravel 5.3?

I've created a helper file using the following method:

  1. Created file in app/Http/helpers.php

  2. Added file path in composer.json

  3. Run this command: composer dumpautoload

Everything worked well but I want to use my models here so that I don't have to write code for getting data from database every time, but it's giving an error that model class not found.

function productImagePath($image_name) {
    $generalSettings = \GeneralSettingsModel::GetGeneralSettings();
    return $generalSettings;
}

My requirement is that I want to call some model's functions to get frontend (header/footer) design settings from database. So I've to write that code again and again in each controller. I'm very new in Laravel so if it's not a good approach to use helpers for such things, please guide me how it's possible then.

As your GeneralSettingModel class is in the App namespace you will need to include that:

function productImagePath($image_name)
{
    $generalSettings = App\GeneralSettingsModel::GetGeneralSettings();

    return $generalSettings;
}

Hope this helps!
