Best Practices for custom helpers in Laravel.

Create a helpers.php file in your app folder and load it up with composer:

"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
        ...
    ],
    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/"
    },
    "files": [
        "app/helpers.php" // <---- ADD THIS
    ]
},

After adding that to your composer.json file, run the following command:

composer dump-autoload

add your function

function propertyNotificationCount()
{
    return Property::where('status', 1)->where( 'created_at', '>', Carbon::now()->subDays(3))->latest()->count();
}

in helper.php file

Now in any blade file you can call propertyNotificationCount() this function.

If you have already done it, you don't need to use that class. simply {{ NotificationCount() }} call in blade, that's it!

As far as I know, it's not really a good practice to use @php @endphp inside blade templates.

I would probably consider another approach and try to return the notification count from the controller somehow and inside php you could handle more easily the class not found error ( maybe just declare it with use at the begging of the controller and you can use it afterwards )
