GreenLight has various helper functions that either extend general Laravel helpers or provide functionality that several previous projects needed and it was reasonable to keep them in the package as well.
These helper functions can be found in the \Greenroom\GreenLight\Helper class. As of GreenLight 2.x, these functions
are also accessible via:
