README
Faker provider for fake car data
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:
- Now requires PHP 8.1+ (previously 7.3+)
- The provider name has changed from
Fakecar
toFakeCar
. 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. - The methods
transliterate
andcheckDigit
on theFakeCar
provider class are now no longer publicly available (Visibility changed to private). - The public methods
getRandomElementsFromArray
andgetWeighted
on theFakeCar
provider class has been moved to a helper class. Access them like this:\Faker\Provider\FakeCarHelper::getWeighted()
- The constants
EBCDIC
andMODELYEAR
are no longer public.
3, 4 and 5 are changes 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 a car as a string echo $faker->vehicle(); // 'Volvo 740' // generate matching automobile brand and model of a 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' // generate Vehicle Identification Number(VIN) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number echo $faker->vin(); // 'd0vcddxpXAcz1utgz' // generate automobile registration number echo $faker->vehicleRegistration(); // 'ABC-123' // generate automobile registration number with custom format echo $faker->vehicleRegistration('[A-Z]{2}-[0-9]{5}'); // AB-12345 // generate automobile model type echo $faker->vehicleType(); // 'hatchback' // generate automobile fuel type echo $faker->vehicleFuelType(); // 'diesel' echo $faker->vehicleFuelType(2); // ['diesel', 'gasoline'] // generate automobile door count echo $faker->vehicleDoorCount(); // 4 // generate automobile seat count echo $faker->vehicleSeatCount(); // 5 // generate automobile properties echo $faker->vehicleProperties(); // ['Towbar','Aircondition','GPS', 'Leather seats'] // generate automobile gear type (manual or automatic) echo $faker->vehicleGearBoxType(); // manual // generate automobile engine power echo $faker->vehicleEnginePower(); // '250 hp' // generate automobile engine power without a unit echo $faker->vehicleEnginePowerValue(); // 175 // generate automobile engine torque echo $faker->vehicleEngineTorque(); // '300 nm' // generate automobile engine power without a unit echo $faker->vehicleEngineTorqueValue(); // 450 // generate automobile engine displacement echo $faker->vehicleEngineDisplacement(); // '2.0 l' // generate automobile engine displacement without unit echo $faker->vehicleEngineDisplacementValue(); // 2.0 // generate automobile engine fuel consumption echo $faker->vehicleFuelConsumption(); // '5.0 l/100km' // generate automobile engine fuel consumption without unit echo $faker->vehicleFuelConsumptionValue(); // 5.0 // generate automobile engine fuel consumption without unit echo $faker->vehicleEngineCylinders(); // 4
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
