laravel migration factory code example

Example 1: laravel 8 seeding

php artisan db:seed

php artisan db:seed --class=UserSeeder

Example 2: create a user using factory laravel

1. Create a factory:
	php artisan make:factory ItemFactory --model=Item
      
Import Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory trait to your model:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Item extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    // ...
}

2. Use it like this:
	
	$item = Item::factory()->make(); // Create a single App\Models\Item instance

	// or

	$items = Item::factory()->count(3)->make(); // Create three App\Models\Item instances

3. Use create method to persist them to the database:

  $item = Item::factory()->create(); // Create a single App\Models\Item instance and persist to the database

  // or

  $items = Item::factory()->count(3)->create(); // Create three App\Models\Item instances and persist to the database

Example 3: laravel 8 seeding

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
    /**
     * Run the database seeders.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        DB::table('users')->insert([
            'name' => Str::random(10),
            'email' => Str::random(10).'@gmail.com',
            'password' => Hash::make('password'),
        ]);
    }
}
