This post is the second one in a series of articles titled Laravel 8 Beginner Insights that reflect what I’ve learned while using Laravel 8 for a side project for the first time: While working on my side-project, a Clubhouse profile editor named Clubprofile.xyz, I found myself needing functionality that could prefix/postfix the string values in an array. As Microsoft writes in their documentation about Extension methods: Extension methods enable you to “add” methods to existing types without creating a new derived type, recompiling, or otherwise modifying the original type.

It is quite similar to extension methods, but unlike Extension Methods in C#, you can’t append functionality to every class.

Laravel provides a mechanism called Mixins; this allows you to code your macros in a separate class, that you can “mix into” your AppServiceProvider class (makes sense, huh?).
