As Laravel facades provide a "static" interface to classes that are available in the application's service container. Also, you can customize the facade as what we want for our own application or specific helper for example you can create a file facade for storing the files, deleting files, etc. In this tutorial, we will show you how to create your own custom facade class in Laravel using the Laravel provider by creating FacadeServiceProvider and registering in the boot of your Laravel application in config/app.php in the provider's bracket.
Config your custom Facade directory
Create FacadeServiceProvider
php artisan make:provider FacadeServiceProvider
In FacadeServiceProvider config your directory that contains the Facade file
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class FacadeServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Register services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function register()
{
$dir = base_path('app/Supports/Facades');
$scans = glob("$dir/*.php");
foreach ($scans as $scan) {
$name = basename($scan);
if(is_file($scan)) {
$name = basename($scan, ".php");
$this->app->bind("{$name}", "App\Supports\Facades\Classes\\{$name}");
}
}
}
/**
* Bootstrap services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot()
{
//
}
}
Register your FacadeServiceProvider
Go to config/app.php and register the provider in the providers sections
<?php
return [

Creating directory app/Supports/Facades and app/Supports/Facades/Classes
In the app/Supports/Facades/FileFacade.php
<?php
namespace App\Supports\Facades;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;
class FileFacade extends Facade
{
protected static function getFacadeAccessor() { return 'FileFacade'; }
}
In the app/Supports/Facades/Classes/FileFacade.php
<?php
namespace App\Supports\Facades\Classes;
class FileFacade
{
public function getFile()
{
return 'File...';
}
}
Clear configuration cache
php artisan optimize
After that you can test your custom facade function with the following
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Supports\Facades\FileFacade;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class ProductController extends Controller
{
public function index(Request $request)
{
dd(FileFacade::getFile());
}
}
