📦 Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require wali/smart-seeder

🚀 Quick Start

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Wali\SmartSeeder\SmartSeeder;

// Generate a random Arabic first name
echo SmartSeeder::name(); // e.g., "أحمد"

// Generate a random Arabic full name
echo SmartSeeder::fullName(); // e.g., "فاطمة الأنصاري"

// Generate a Hijri date
echo SmartSeeder::hijriDate(); // e.g., "1445/03/15"

// Generate a Saudi IBAN
echo SmartSeeder::iban(); // e.g., "SA0380000000608010167519"

// Generate a Saudi mobile number
echo SmartSeeder::phone(); // e.g., "[phone]"

// Generate a Saudi National ID
echo SmartSeeder::nationalId(); // e.g., "1023456789"

// Generate a Saudi Iqama (resident ID)
echo SmartSeeder::iqama(); // e.g., "2087654321"

📖 Detailed Usage

Names

Generate Arabic names with optional gender specification:

// Random name (male or female)
$name = SmartSeeder::name();

// Specific gender
$maleName = SmartSeeder::name('male');     // وليد, أحمد, خالد, محمد
$femaleName = SmartSeeder::name('female'); // فاطمة, مريم, سارة, نورة

// Full names with family names
$fullName = SmartSeeder::fullName();
$maleFullName = SmartSeeder::fullName('male');
$femaleFullName = SmartSeeder::fullName('female');

Dates

Generate Hijri (Islamic) calendar dates:

$hijriDate = SmartSeeder::hijriDate();
// Returns format: YYYY/MM/DD (e.g., "1445/03/15")

Financial Data

Generate Saudi-specific financial identifiers:

// Saudi IBAN (International Bank Account Number)
$iban = SmartSeeder::iban();
// Returns: "SA" + 22 digits (e.g., "SA0380000000608010167519")

Contact Information

Generate Saudi contact details:

// Saudi mobile phone number
$phone = SmartSeeder::phone();
// Returns: "+966" + 9 digits (e.g., "[phone]")

// Saudi National ID (citizens and residents)
$nationalId = SmartSeeder::nationalId();
// Returns: 10-digit number starting with 1 or 2 (e.g., "1023456789")

// Saudi Iqama (resident ID) - specifically for non-citizens
$iqama = SmartSeeder::iqama();
// Returns: 10-digit number starting with 2 (e.g., "2087654321")

🧪 Laravel Integration

SmartSeeder works perfectly with Laravel factories and seeders:

// In a Laravel Factory
use Wali\SmartSeeder\SmartSeeder;

$factory->define(User::class, function (Faker $faker) {
    return [
        'name' => SmartSeeder::fullName(),
        'phone' => SmartSeeder::phone(),
        'national_id' => SmartSeeder::nationalId(),
        'iqama' => SmartSeeder::iqama(),
        'iban' => SmartSeeder::iban(),
        // ... other attributes
    ];
});

// In a Laravel Seeder
class UserSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run()
    {
        for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) {
            User::create([
                'name' => SmartSeeder::fullName(),
                'phone' => SmartSeeder::phone(),
                'national_id' => SmartSeeder::nationalId(),
            ]);
        }
    }
}
