This package helps you to manage faked models. Make, create and store in database. This factory is another way to work with fixtures and inspired by factories in laravel.

Requirements

• PHP 7.0 +

Instalation

composer require dmirogin/fakemodel

How to use

1. Add component to your application configuration

   'factory' => [
       'class' => \dmirogin\fakemodel\ModelFactory::class,
       'resolvers' => [
           [
               'class' => \dmirogin\fakemodel\resolvers\FakerResolver::class,
               'definitions' => [
                   \app\models\MyModel::class => function (\Faker\Generator $faker) {
                       return [
                           'id' => $faker->numberBetween(1, 100),
                           'username' => $faker->userName,
                           'password' => $faker->password
                       ];
                   }
               ]
           ]
       ]
   ],

2. Now you can do:

Yii::$app->factory->setModel(\app\models\MyModel::class)->make();

Function in base TestCase

In your base TestCase class you can create simple function:

/**
 * Create model factory
 *
 * @param string $model
 * @param int $amount
 * @return \dmirogin\fakemodel\ModelFactory
 */
protected function factory(string $model, int $amount = 1): \dmirogin\fakemodel\ModelFactory
{
    /** @var \dmirogin\fakemodel\ModelFactory $factory */
    $factory = Yii::$app->factory;
    return $factory->setModel($model)->setAmount($amount);
}

and call just by:

$this->factory(\app\models\MyModel::class)->make();

Enhanced example

'factory' => [
    'class' => \dmirogin\fakemodel\ModelFactory::class,
    'resolvers' => [
        [
            'class' => \dmirogin\fakemodel\resolvers\FakerResolver::class,
            'definitions' => [
                \app\models\MyModel::class => function (\Faker\Generator $faker) {
                    return [
                        'id' => $faker->numberBetween(1, 100),
                        'username' => $faker->userName,
                        'password' => $faker->password
                    ];
                }
            ]
        ],
        [
            'class' => \dmirogin\fakemodel\resolvers\StatesResolver::class,
            'definitions' => [
                \app\models\MyModel::class => [
                    'admin' => [
                        'id' => 1
                    ]
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ]
],

Yii::$app->factory->setModel(\app\models\MyModel::class)->states(['admin'])->setAmount(5)->make();
