The extension allows to generate fixture class on base of existing ActiveRecord model class. Also it allows to grab existing records from database into fixture data file.

Install with composer:

composer require --dev elisdn/yii2-gii-fixture-generator

or add

"elisdn/yii2-gii-fixture-generator": "*"

Add new generator into your Gii module config:

$config['modules']['gii'] = [
    'class' => 'yii\gii\Module',
    'generators' => [
        'fixture' => [
            'class' => 'elisdn\gii\fixture\Generator',
        ],
    ],
];

And add the following line:

Yii::setAlias('@tests', dirname(__DIR__) . '/tests');
