Laravel Model Factory Stories
This package allows you to create complex model factories in separate classes reusable among your tests classes.
inspired by the Model Factories podcast on twentypercent.fm
Installing
If you are using Laravel 5.4 or lower, add the service provider to the app.php file:
On Laravel 5.5+, the provider will be discovered automatically.
The problem
Let's say you have to do some tests over articles created with certain conditions like:
You may end creating something like
... or something like that.
Of course, you can always extract this to its own method in a helper class, but sometimes you may want to have each of these kinds of "stories" in its own class, even more when you need to add some extra methods to generate more complex data.
Creating new Factory Stories
After installing this package, you'll have access to a new artisan command
After you run this command you should see the new file under the "database/" directory
Using Factory Stories
Consider this UserTestClass.php
You just need to create a new instance of the Story Class and call the create() method on it
This will return a collection of 5 items with the object that you return in the build() method of the custom story class.
Laravel 5.4 includes "Real time facades", this allows you to use the Story Class as a facade as well just by adding the use Facades\{YourClassName}
at the top of your file
