Generate test data builder based on [Buildotter Core](https://github.com/buildotter/php-core).

This "standalone maker" tries to be agnostic of the framework you are using or not.

If you want to know more about Buildotter, check [Buildotter Core](https://github.com/buildotter/php-core).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev buildotter/php-maker-standalone
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To generate a builder and the functions following [Buildotter Core](https://github.com/buildotter/php-core), let yourself be carried by the interactive command:

```
php vendor/bin/buildotter-maker-standalone
```

You'll have some editing to do after the generation.

> Note that the generated code may not comply with your project's coding standards. We work on the assumption that you have a tool that fixes the code style automatically.

The default behavior is opinionated.
------------------------------------

[](#the-default-behavior-is-opinionated)

For instance, we like to use functions like `anElephant()` instead of `ElephantBuilder::random()`or `someElephants()` instead of `RandomMultiple::from(ElephantBuilder::class, $numberOfItems)`. So default behavior is to generate these functions. Disable the data builders' functions generation by using `--no-generated-functions` option.

Another example is the presence of the global function `random()` using [fakerphp/faker](https://github.com/FakerPHP/Faker). Default behavior is to generate this function if it does not already exist. Disable the "random" function's generation by using the `--no-generated-random-function` option.

To check all the options check the help:

```
php vendor/bin/buildotter-maker-standalone --help
```
