In this article, we will discuss “How Laravel traits are different from the helpers in PHP“.

Traits have been mainly added to PHP as PHP never allows multiple inheritances i.e., a class couldn’t expand more than one class at once. This becomes laborious when you need functionality declared in two different classes that are being used by other classes as well, and the result is that you would have to replicate code in order to get the task done without tangling yourself up in a haze of cobwebs.

The traits allow us to declare a type of class that carries methods that could be reused. Better still, their methods can be injected into any class in a straight line you are supposed to use, and you can have the facility to use multiple traits in the same class.
