2- i add to composer.json in autoload: "files": [ "app/helpers.php" ]

3- i create HelperServiceProvider

4- i register my HelperServiceProvider

$app->register(App\Providers\HelperServiceProvider::class);

5- i RUN COMPOSER DUMP-AUTOLOAD

But : i still get error like :

Warning: require(C:\wamp\www\lumen-api\vendor\composer/../../app/helpers.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

It worked for me on Lumen 6.3.3 using this pattern AND setting up composer.json the way davielee has shown (below).

"autoload": {
        "files": [
            "app/Library/Helpers/Helpers.php"
        ],
        "classmap": [
            "database/seeds",
            "database/factories"
        ],
        "psr-4": {
            "App\": "app/",
            "App\Library\Helpers\": "app/Library/Helpers"
        }
    },

I'm not sure I need both of the entries in composer.json - guess I'll experiment and find out.
