How can I share functions between components, for example, I have the next function

public function findAccount()
{
    $account = Account::where('email',$this->variable['email'])->first();
    return $account;
}

This function is used in 3 diferent components but I don't want to have it in the three components

plugins/author/plugin/components/user.php

plugins/author/plugin/components/account.php

plugins/author/plugin/components/billing.php

Any ideas? Wich is the bettter aproach?

There's at least 3 ways to do this:

• put those functions in a class and use the class in your components
• just a bare php include of a file defining those functions
• create a trait and use the trait in your components class

Thank You so much @mjauvin

I'm going to build my own class in /author/plugin/classes/userclass.php

Nice day
