🐥 Laravel Tip💡: Magic Factories Methods

development laravel php

We use factories a lot. Did you know about the "for[Relation]" and "has[Relation]" magic methods? You just need to make sure you have the relationship set up in your model and you are good to go 🚀

// You need to have User and Posts factories
$user = User::factory()
    // The User model has a hasMany "posts" relationship
    ->hasPosts(3)
    ->create();

$posts = Post::factory()
    ->count(3)
    // The Post model has a belongsTo "user" relationship
    // The array is optional. Use it to override an attribute if needed
    ->forUser([
        'name' => 'John Doe',
    ]])
    ->create();
