Where to locate and how to setup view helpers in Laravel 5

I want to create what I believe in Laravel is called a view helper (I'm new to Laravel so I'm not certain of the vocabulary)... in other words one or more methods that are available in all views.

Where in the directory structure would I place such a thing, and how should I use it, in a manner that's compatible with Laravel 5?

Thanks
