Installation

To install as a dev dependency run:

composer require pelmered/fake-car --dev

Remove the --dev flag if you need it in production.

Upgrade to 2.x from 1.x

Breaking changes:

  1. Now requires PHP 8.1+ (previously 7.3+)
  2. The provider name has changed from Fakecar to FakeCar. This will cause problems if you are on a case-sensitive filesystem, but it is strongly recommended to change this even if you are not.
  3. The methods transliterate and checkDigit on the FakeCar provider class are now no longer publicly available (Visibility changed to private).
  4. The public methods getRandomElementsFromArray and getWeighted on the FakeCar provider class has been moved to a helper class. Access them like this: \Faker\Provider\FakeCarHelper::getWeighted
  5. The constants EBCDIC and MODELYEAR are no longer public.

3, 4 and 5 are changes to limited to undocumented features of the public API and should therefore not impact the typical use cases of this package.

Basic Usage

$faker = (new \Faker\Factory())::create();
$faker->addProvider(new \Faker\Provider\FakeCar($faker));


// generate matching automobile brand and model of car as a string
echo $faker->vehicle; // Volvo 740

// generate matching automobile brand and model of car as an array
echo $faker->vehicleArray; // [ 'brand' => 'Hummer', 'model' => 'H1' ]

// generate only automobile brand
echo $faker->vehicleBrand; // Ford

// generate automobile manufacturer and model of car
echo $faker->vehicleModel; // 488 Spider

Laravel factory example

<?php
namespace Database\Factories;

use App\Models\Vehicle;
use Faker\Provider\FakeCar;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;

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

    /**
     * Define the model's default state.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function definition()
    {
        $this->faker->addProvider(new FakeCar($this->faker));
        $vehicle = $this->faker->vehicleArray();

        return [
            'vehicle_type'    => 'car',
            'vin'             => $this->faker->vin,
            'registration_no' => $this->faker->vehicleRegistration,
            'chassis_type'    => str_replace(' ', '_', $this->faker->vehicleType),
            'fuel'            => $this->faker->vehicleFuelType,
            'brand'           => $vehicle['brand'],
            'model'           => $vehicle['model'],
            'year'            => $this->faker->biasedNumberBetween(1990, date('Y'), 'sqrt'),
        ];
    }
}

Bring your own data

To bring you own data or override the default you can just provide your own data provider.

Option 1: Provide your own data object:

First, create the data object:

<?php
class BMWFakeCarData extends \Faker\Provider\FakeCarData
{
    public static $brandsWithModels = [
        'BMW' => [
            '8 Series', 'M1', 'X5', 'Z1', 'Z3', 'Z4', 'Z8', 'Alpina', 'E', 'X3', 'M', 'X6', '1 Series', '5 Series',
            'X5 M', 'M5', '750', '6 Series', '3 Series', 'M3', 'X6 M', 'M6', 'X1', '7 Series', '325', '324', '316',
            '320', '318', '328', '523', '740', '520', '728', '525', 'Isetta', '530', '528', '545', '535', 'Dixi',
            '730', '745', '518', '524', '540', '116', '118', '120', '123', '125', '130', '135', '323', '330', '335',
            '550', '628', '630', '633', '635', '645', '650', '640', '760', '735', '732', '725', 'X series', 'X8',
            '340', 'RR', '1 Series М', '321', '315', '6 Series Gran Coupe', 'X2', '4 Series', '428', '435', '420',
            '2 Series', '3 Series GT', 'X4', '4 Series Gran Coupe', '326', 'I8', '5 Series GT', 'I3', 'M2', 'M4',
            'Neue Klasse', '1602', 'Active Hybrid 7', '2002', '2000', 'F10', 'X7', '128', '6 Series GT'
        ],
    ];

    public static $vehicleTypes = [
        'hatchback', 'sedan', 'convertible', 'SUV', 'coupe',
    ];

    public static $vehicleFuelTypes = [
        'gasoline' => 40,
        'electric' => 10,
        'diesel' => 20,
    ];
}

And then add it to faker like this:

$fakeCarDataProvider = new \Faker\Provider\FakeCarDataProvider(new BMWFakeCarData);

$faker = (new \Faker\Factory())::create();
$fakeCar = new \Faker\Provider\FakeCar($faker);
$fakeCar->setDataProvider($fakeCarDataProvider);
$faker->addProvider($fakeCar);

echo $faker->vehicleBrand; // BMW

Option 2: Provide your own data provider:

<?php
namespace FakeCar\Tests\TestProviders;

use Faker\Provider\FakeCarDataProviderInterface;
use Faker\Provider\FakeCarHelper;

class FerrariEnzoTestProvider implements FakeCarDataProviderInterface
{

    public function getVehicleBrand(): string
    {
        return 'Ferrari';
    }

    public function getVehicleModel(): string
    {
        return 'Enzo';
    }

    public function getBrandsWithModels(): array
    {
        return [
            'brand' => $this->getVehicleBrand(),
            'model' => $this->getVehicleModel(),
        ];
    }

    public function getVehicleType(): string
    {
        return 'coupe';
    }

    public function getVehicleFuelType(): string|array
    {
        return 'gasoline';
    }

    public function getVehicleDoorCount(): int
    {
        return 2;
    }

    public function getVehicleSeatCount(): int
    {
        return 2;
    }

    public function getVehicleProperties(int $count = 0): array
    {
        return [
            'Air condition',
            'GPS',
            'Leather seats',
        ];
    }

    public function getVehicleGearBoxType(): string
    {
        return FakeCarHelper::getWeighted([
            'manual'    => 70,
            'automatic' => 30,
        ]);
    }

}

And then add the provider to faker:

$fakeCarDataProvider = new FerrariEnzoTestProvider();

$faker = (new \Faker\Factory())::create();
$fakeCar = new \Faker\Provider\FakeCar($faker);
$fakeCar->setDataProvider($fakeCarDataProvider);
$faker->addProvider($fakeCar);

echo $faker->vehicleBrand; // Ferrari
echo $faker->vehicleModel; // Enzo
