Latest Version on Packagist Build Status Quality Score Total Downloads

This package is built to reduce the time taken when seeding a lot data to the database on development.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require innoflash/steroid-seeder --dev

Usage

Used the same way we do with default Laravel factory

If you wanna use it in your existing seeding files just replace factory with steroidFactory

Alternatively you can call the factory from the facade. SteroidSeeder::factory

Default factory seeds one model at a time and that elongates the time of execution for huge data-sets.

// with default factory (approx 37 seconds on my computer)

factory(TestModel::class, 1000)->create();
//with steroidFactory (approx 8 seconds on my machine)

steroidFactory(\App\TestModel::class, 1000)->create();
Steroid seeder optimization.
  • By default the steroidFactory save 1000 entries at a go, you cant tune this to whatever size that works for you.
// took 8.8 seconds to seed 10k entries

steroidFactory(\App\TestModel::class, 100000)
    ->chunk(1000)
    ->create();
  • By default the Laravel factory calls some callbacks after creating your models. This is when the model boot and observers are called and its time consuming because the factory iterate over all the created models. steroidFactory lets you ignore the callbacks.
// took 4.3 seconds to seed 10k entries

steroidFactory(\App\TestModel::class, 100000)
    ->skipAfterCreatingCallbacks()
    ->create();

Seeding relationships

Steroid seeder can be used to create models with their relationships.

It's a continuation of the above except that the you will need to chain your relationships on the factory. See the example below:

    steroidFactory(TestModel::class)
            ->with(Comment::class)
            ->with(Reaction::class, 1, [], 'model_id')
            ->create();

Here is the params expected in the with function.
