Facades provide a static interface to classes that are available in the application’s service container. Laravel facades serve as static proxies to underlying classes in the service container, providing the benefit of a terse, expressive syntax while maintaining more testability and flexibility than traditional static methods.

How to create Facade

The following are the steps to create Facade in Laravel −

Step 1− Create PHP Class File.
Step 2− Bind that class to Service Provider.
Step 3− Register that ServiceProvider to

Config\app.php as providers.

Step 4− Create Class which is this class extends to

lluminate\Support\Facades\Facade.

Step 5− Register point 4 to Config\app.php as aliases.

Facade Class Reference

Laravel ships with many Facades. The following table show the in-built Facade class references −

Example

Step 1 − Create a service provider called TestFacadesServiceProvider by executing the following command.

php artisan make:provider TestFacadesServiceProvider

Step 2 − After successful execution, you will receive the following output −

la 53

Step 3 − Create a class called TestFacades.php at App/Test.

App/Test/TestFacades.php

<?php   namespace App\Test;

   class TestFacades{     

 public function testingFacades() {       

  echo "Testing the Facades in Laravel.";  

    }  

 }

?>

Step 4 − Create a Facade class called “TestFacades.php” at “App/Test/Facades”.

App/Test/Facades/TestFacades.php

<?php namespace app\Test\Facades; 

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;

 class TestFacades extends Facade {  

 protected static function getFacadeAccessor()

 { return 'test';

 }

}

Step 5 − Create a Facade class called TestFacadesServiceProviders.php at App/Test/Facades.

App/Providers/TestFacadesServiceProviders.php

<?php namespace App\Providers; 

use App;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

 class TestFacadesServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {  

 public function boot() {   

   //   }  

 public function register() {   

   App::bind('test',function() {    

     return new \App\Test\TestFacades;   

   }); 

  }}

Step 6 − Add a service provider in a file config/app.php as shown in the below figure.

config/app.php

la 54

Step 7 − Add an alias in a file config/app.php as shown in the below figure.

config/app.php

la 55

Step 8 − Add the following lines in app/Http/routes.php.

app/Http/routes.php

Route::get('/facadeex', function() 
{   return TestFacades::testingFacades();
});

Step 9 − Visit the following URL to test the Facade.

http://localhost:8000/facadeex

Step 10 − After visiting the URL, you will receive the following output −
