Greetings guys, I want to do the following:
I have created 4 tables Usuarios , Perfiles , Posts and Categorias
And I want to fill the database using the factory of laravel 5 and that these data are already related to each other !! and a brief documentation of the code,
I have seen something in the documentation, but I do not have it very clear.
I have solved my problem. I know there is another method, but this one worked for me at the moment.
I know I asked for the relationship with several tables, but in this case it applies the same as for all.
In the function run of DatabaseSeeder.php I placed this
$this->call(ProfilesTableSeeder::class);
$this->call(UsersTableSeeder::class);
It is important to first call the seed of the profiles and then the user profile, since there can not be a user without a profile
in UsersTableSeeder use the following factory
$factory->define(App\User::class, function (Faker\Generator $faker) {
$p = []; // Array para guardar los id's de los perfiles
$profiles = App\Profile::get(['id']); // Consulta de los Perfiles (Si no colocamos el Seed de perfiles primero, esta linea traera datos vacios ya que no se han creado los perfiles)
foreach ($profiles as $k => $v) {
$p[] = $v->id; // añadimos el valor al array
}
return [
/*
* El método 'randomElement' recibe por parametro un array y escoje un valor aleatorio
*/
'profile_id' => $faker->randomElement($p)
];
});
