Faker PHP Getting Started
Integrations
Integrations on Xefi Faker PHP
Laravel
Faker PHP integrates fully with Laravel, first you need to require the compatibility package:
composer require --dev xefi/faker-php-laravel
After that, faker is ready to use with the faker helper:
namespace Database\Factories;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
/**
* @extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory<\App\Models\User>
*/
class UserFactory extends Factory
{
/**
* The current password being used by the factory.
*/
protected static ?string $password;
/**
* Define the model's default state.
*
* @return array<string, mixed>
*/
public function definition(): array
{
return [
'name' => faker()->name(),
'email' => faker()->unique()->email(),
];
}
}
Symfony
Faker PHP integrates fully with Symfony, first you need to require the compatibility package:
composer require --dev xefi/faker-php-symfony
After that, Faker is ready to use with the Faker service:
namespace App\DataFixtures;
use App\Entity\User;
use Doctrine\Bundle\FixturesBundle\Fixture;
use Doctrine\Persistence\ObjectManager;
use Xefi\Faker\Faker;
class AppFixtures extends Fixture
{
public function __construct(private Faker $faker) {}
public function load(ObjectManager $manager): void
{
$user = new User();
$user->setName($this->faker->name())
->setEmail($this->faker->email());
$manager->persist($user);
$manager->flush();
}
}
If you want to specify the locale to use : simply create a config/packages/xefi_faker.yaml file and fill it like this (where fr_FRis your locale) :
xefi_faker_symfony:
locale: fr_FR
