This isn't necessarily a Lumen specific thing, but more of a Composer thing.

In your composer.json file, you can add this line under autoload (The rest of the file has been truncated for brevity).

{
    "autoload": {
        "files": [
            "path/to/helpers.php"
        ]
    }
}

Then just run composer dump-autoload and you should be good to go.

I have used helper in Lumen 8.0. Please check below link for the same:

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