php-fakerHow can I generate fake values using Laravel Faker?
To generate fake values using Laravel Faker, you can use the factory()
function. This function takes two arguments: the model class and a closure that defines the fake data. The following example code will generate a fake user with a random name, email, and password:
$user = factory(App\User::class)->create([
'name' => $faker->name,
'email' => $faker->unique()->safeEmail,
'password' => bcrypt('password'),
]);
The output of this code would be a new user with the random name, email, and password defined in the code.
