title: Laravel - How to call static function without instantiate object
body: <p>Is there any way in Laravel (5.2) to call static and/or non-static function in a custom object without having to instantiate the referring object in all classes it is used?</p>
  
  <p>Example: I have class <code>App\Helpers\Utilities.php</code> with public function <code>doBeforeTask()</code></p>
  
  <p>I'm using this method in allot of classes within my project and it would be pretty if i could just call <code>Utilities::doBeforeTask()</code> or <code>Utilities-&gt;doBeforeTask()</code> without creating a instance of my Utilities object <code>$obj = new Utilities();</code></p>
