The included trait provides additional features on top of the existing `DatabaseMigrations` trait currently included with Laravel:

- Using 'migrate:refresh' instead of the hardcoded 'migrate:fresh' by including a property on your test class

```
protected $useRefreshMigrations = true;

```

- Using custom seeders which can be defined separately for each test

```
protected $seederClass = 'AnotherDatabaseSeeder';

```

### Installation

[](#installation)

This package requires that you are using `laravel/framework: 5.5.*`. Provided this is fulfilled, you can install the helper traits like so:

```
composer require betapeak/laravel-testing-helper-traits

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

You can use the included `DatabaseMigrationsWithSeeding` trait in place of the existing `DatabaseMigrations` trait included in Laravel. Like the default trait, it will `migrate:fresh` the database, but will also seed it with the default `DatabaseSeeder` class.

```
namespace Tests;
use BetaPeak\Testing\Traits\DatabaseMigrationsWithSeeding;

class SomeUnitTest extends TestCase
{
    use DatabaseMigrationsWithSeeding;

    /** @test */
    public function it_tests_something()
    {
        //Test something
    }

}

```

You can specify a different seeder class like so:

```
namespace Tests;
use BetaPeak\Testing\Traits\DatabaseMigrationsWithSeeding;

class SomeUnitTest extends TestCase
{
    use DatabaseMigrationsWithSeeding;

    protected $seederClass = 'AnotherSeederClass';

    ...

}

```

Finally, if you don't want to use `migrate:fresh`, you can force the trait to use `migrate:refresh` like so:

```
namespace Tests;
use BetaPeak\Testing\Traits\DatabaseMigrationsWithSeeding;

class SomeUnitTest extends TestCase
{
    use DatabaseMigrationsWithSeeding;

    protected $useRefreshMigrations = true;

    ...

}

```

More information on using database migrations in tests can be found on [Laravel's homepage](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/database-testing)
