public static function homePageURL()
{
    return url('/');
}
}

it working fine when I use this

Route::get('/envato-user-helper-demo', function () {
return Helper::homePageURL();
}); 

but in the controller, it shows me This error ((1/1) FatalThrowableError Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Helper' not found)

Answer 1

In your controller, add this line at top-

use Helper;

Or you can do as @Eleazar Resendez says-

return \Helper::homePageURL();
