Magically add missing Model Factories

Smousss generates missing Model Factories to help you create fake data seeders and write tests at ease. A dream came true for developers inheriting legacy codebases.

namespace Database\Factories;

use …

class ThreadFactory extends Factory
{
    public function definition()
    {
        return [
            'title' => fake()->sentence(),
            'slug' => fake()->slug(),
            'content' => fake()->paragraph(),
        ];
    }

    public function withUser(): static
    {
        return $this->state(function () {
            return [
                'user_id' => User::factory(),
            ];
        });
    }

    …
}

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require smousss/laravel-factorize

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=factorize-config

Usage

1. First, generate a secret key on smousss.com.
2. Add it to your SMOUSSS_SECRET_KEY environment variable.
3. Then, create a factory for your Post model: php artisan smousss:factorize App\\Models\\Post. Or for multiple models: php artisan smousss:factorize App\\Models\\Post App\\Models\\Comment
