Basic usage

Create yml fixture file as it is described nelmio/alice

Nelmio\Entity\User:
    user{1..10}:
        username: '<username()>'
        fullname: '<firstName()> <lastName()>'
        birthDate: '<date()>'
        email: '<email()>'
        favoriteNumber: '50%? <numberBetween(1, 200)>'

    group1:
        name: Admins
        owner: '@user1'
        members: '<numberBetween(1, 10)>x @user*'
        created: '<dateTimeBetween("-200 days", "now")>'
        updated: '<dateTimeBetween($created, "now")>'

Class FixturelLoader has one significant method load to load models. That method receive one or array of files with data to load. You can load this fixture to database with next code:

<?php
namespace Rnr\Tests\Alice;

use Orchestra\Testbench\TestCase as ParentTestCase;
use Rnr\Alice\FixturesLoader;
use Nelmio\Entity\User;
use Nelmio\Entity\Group;

class TestCase extends ParentTestCase
{
    /** @var FixturesLoader */
    protected $fixturesLoader;

    protected function setUp()
    {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->fixturesLoader = $this->app->make(FixturesLoader::class);
    }
    
    public function testLoadingFixtures() {
        $objects = $this->fixturesLoader->load('fixture.yml');
        
        $users = User::all();
        
        $this->assertEquals(array_map($objects, function ($model) {
            return $model->getKey();
        }), $users->modelKeys());
    }
}

It loads data for next models:

<?php
namespace Nelmio\Entity;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class User extends Model  {
    protected $table = 'users';
}

class Group extends Model {
    protected $table = 'groups';
    
    public function owner() {
        return $this->belnogsTo(User::class);
    }
}

Restrictions

You can use id to specify related models in relationships, but these models should be already create in database.

Extracting fixtures from database

If you add GenerateFixtureCommand to your console kernel you can export data to yml from existing database. This class add new command db:generate-fixture to artisan. This command extract fixtures from database. Command takes array of models with relations in specific format:

php artisan db:generate-fixture \
    'Nelmio\Entity\User(relations:relation1,realation2.subrelation)=1,2,3-5,17,20-25' \
    'Nelmio\Entity\Group(relations:hasOne)=*' > /path/to/fixture.yml
