laravel-seeding

I have a users table and a one-to-zero/one relation with a businesses table (users.user_id => businesses.user_id). On my users table I have a discriminator which tells me if the user is of type business and therefore I need to have details on the businesses table as well. I want to create my Users with my factory which currently is working and then only create business details where the discriminator points to a business account. I have three options in my mind: Create from users factory and then using '->each()' do some checks on the discriminator and create a new business user using a the

Usually you're using model Factories and faker to create fake data (with relations etc) for

By default the laravel installation comes with this code in the database/factories/ModelFactory.php File. $factory->define(App\User::class, function (Faker\Generator $faker) { return [ 'name' => $faker->name, 'email' => $faker->email, 'password' => bcrypt(str

I have a users table and a roles table that has a many-to-many relationship. These two tables are connected to a junction table called role_user . This is a model of the tables and its connections. Below are the Models in my Laravel project: User namespace App; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; class Role extends Model { public function roles() { return $this->belongsToMany('App\Role'); } } Role namespace App; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; class Role extends Model { public function users() { return $this->belongsToMany('App\User'); } } Below is the Factory file in the Laravel
