How to use traits in Laravel 5.4.18?

Question

I need an example of where to exactly create the file, to write to it, and how to use the functions declared in the trait. I use Laravel Framework 5.4.18

Answer 1

I have Create a Traits directory in my Http directory with a Trait called BrandsTrait.php

and use it like:

use App\Http\Traits\BrandsTrait;

class YourController extends Controller {

    use BrandsTrait;

    public function addProduct() {

        //$brands = Brand::all();

        // $brands = $this->BrandsTrait();  // this is wrong
        $brands = $this->brandsAll();
    }
}

Here is my BrandsTrait.php

Note: Just like a normal function written in a certain namespace, you can use traits as well
