When developing an application with Laravel, I came across a question about the proper place (or indicated by the best practices) to put methods to format data.

As an example, I have a model Rubrica with fields fonte, despesa, etc.

The despesa field stores a 6-character string and the fonte field stores a 5-character string.

It turns out that for viewing on views, I wish you despesa is in a.b.cd.ee format and fonte is in ABC.de format.

The doubt I have is, the correct thing is to call formatting functions, for example fmt_despesa() and fmt_fonte () directly on the view (in this case, the functions would be defined as Helpers in /App/support/helper.php);

Or should create the static methods needed in the controller (RubricaController) by calling them directly on the view;

Or, you should put the formatting methods on the Rubrica model and call directly on the view in each recovered register of the model.

I really didn’t find it in the documentation of the Laravel guidelines in this regard. I also found nothing relevant on the internet, including the OS.

I am grateful for the help and eventual feedback if the question is not properly written.
