Laravel 8 Factories, Seeder

In this post i am going to explain about creating dummy data in database by using Laravel Factory and Seed The Database by using Database Seeder.

To generate model factory run the command below.

php artisan make:factory UserFactory --model=User

This will generate file in database/dactory/UserFactory.php

Now let's add fake data for each column.

<?php

namespace Database\Factories;

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;

class UserFactory extends Factory
{
    /**
     * The name of the factory's corresponding model.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $model = User::class;

    /**
     * Define the model's default state.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function definition()
    {
        return [
            'name' => $this->faker->name(),
            'email' => $this->faker->unique()->safeEmail(),
            'email_verified_at' => now(),
            'password' => Hash::make('password'),
            'remember_token' => Str::random(10),
        ];
    }
}

Now Add a seeder For UserTable by running command below.

php artisan make:seed UserTableSeeder

This command generate a file in database/seeders/UserTableSeeder.php

Next Update the run function of seeder file.

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use App\Models\User;

class UserTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
    /**
     * Run the database seeds.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        User::factory()->count(50)->create();
    }
}

Now Run the command below to seed the data,

php artisan db:seed --class=UserTableSeeder

The Output result for users listing will be like.
