php - Laravel add http to urls -

is there helper in laravel 5.0 automatically adds http url without it? similar codeigniter's prep_url found here.

no can add yourself. in composer.json file add files key under autoload , point helper file e.g.

"autoload": {     "files": [         "app/helpers.php"     ] } 

then create app/helpers.php code (lifted https://github.com/bcit-ci/codeigniter/blob/master/system/helpers/url_helper.php):

<?php  if ( ! function_exists('prep_url')) {     /**      * prep url      *      * adds http:// part if no scheme included      *      * @param   string  url      * @return  string      */     function prep_url($str = '')     {         if ($str === 'http://' or $str === '')         {             return '';         }         $url = parse_url($str);         if ( ! $url or ! isset($url['scheme']))         {             return 'http://'.$str;         }         return $str;     } } 

now have prep_url globally accessible! don't forget run composer dump-autoload too.
