Helpers

Orchestra Platform includes a set of helpers function to help solves some of the frequent problem while developing on Laravel.

orchestra()

Return orchestra.app instance.

PHP

<?php

echo orchestra()->memory()->get('site.name');

# You can also use the following to get the same value

echo orchestra('memory')->get('site.name');

handles()

Return handles configuration for a package to generate a full URL.

PHP

<?php

echo handles('orchestra/foundation::users');

# You can also use `orchestra` as an alias to `orchestra/foundation`.

echo handles('orchestra::users');

Above code would return /admin/users, however if your Orchestra Platform configuration is set to use root path as the handles, the same code would then return /users.
