Laravel: Use github custom function non-laravel

Question

In my Laravel Project, I want to use Github project having just 1 file. No composer package included. This file have some formulas to calculate the result and have 7 functions.

My Question: Where to save this file in my project?

Or

Can I directly copy those functions in my controller/Model?

Please suggest.

@SVM why don't you just copy and past in a model ? or use a helper function(not recommend) — Supun Praneeth

Thanks @SupunFictionPraneeth , I will copy and paste in model. Just wanted to know the best practice. whether to use in Model or Controller or Helper function. — SVM

@SVM using as helper is not recommended because it appear in everywhere in the app so there might be conflict with other functions — Supun Praneeth

Usually when I include code in laravel that is not part of a composer package I create a folder in the App folder with my nickname or companyname:

/project_folder/app/company/helperfunctions.php

You can still use composer to autoload the file if you want. Just include the classmap in your composer.json and add the path to your folder

"autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "app/company"
        ],

    },
