## Laravel Test Factory Generator



`php artisan generate:model-factory`



This package will generate [factories](https://laravel.com/docs/master/database-testing#writing-factories) from your existing models so you can get started with testing your Laravel application more quickly.



### Example output



#### Migration and Model

```php

Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {

    $table->increments('id');

    $table->string('name');

    $table->string('username');

    $table->string('email')->unique();

    $table->string('password', 60);

    $table->integer('company_id');

    $table->rememberToken();

    $table->timestamps();

});



class User extends Model {

    public function company()

    {

        return $this->belongsTo(Company::class);

    }

}

```



#### Factory Result



```php

$factory->define(App\User::class, function (Faker\Generator $faker) {

    return [

        'name' => $faker->name,

        'username' => $faker->userName,

        'email' => $faker->safeEmail,

        'password' => bcrypt($faker->password),

        'company_id' => factory(App\Company::class),

        'remember_token' => Str::random(10),

    ];

});

```



### Install



Require this package with composer using the following command:



```bash

composer require --dev mpociot/laravel-test-factory-helper

```



### Usage



To generate multiple factories at once, run the artisan command:



`php artisan generate:model-factory`



This command will find all models within your application and create test factories. By default, this will not overwrite any existing model factories. You can _force_ overwriting existing model factories by using the `--force` option.



To generate a factory for specific model or models, run the artisan command:



`php artisan generate:model-factory User Team`



By default, this command will search under the `app` folder for models. If your models are within a different folder, for example `app/Models`, you can specify this using `--dir` option. In this case, run the artisan command:



`php artisan generate:model-factory --dir app/Models -- User Team`
