Define factories

Through model definition you will tell to the factory how to populate the entity with data.

That is an unusual model definition because it would create all entity instances with the same data. Usually you need compute data or use Faker library for fake data, in that case you can use a Closure for defining model attributes

Load model definitions

For creating models from its definitions you need to load those definitions. A good place for loading the models definitions could be the tests bootstrap file, by specifying the models definitions directory path.

Creating models

For an easy model creation the library provides the factory() helper

That will create a full populate entity and save it in the datasource defined for testing. If you don't need to persist the data you can use the make() method

You may also create an array of may models by passing the number of models to the helper

Override model definition data

By passing an array of attributes to create() or make() functions you can override the data filled by the model definition

States

By states, you can define discrete modifications to the model attributes.

As for definitions you can define state attributes by a Closure or a simple array

Apply states during the model building in the bellow way. States combination is allowed.

Deleting models

For ensuring tests isolation is very important to remove the models stored by each test. The library provides a trait which will do it for you.
