This Cake 4 plugin comes with a snapshot and data seeds for the [MySQL Sakila Sample Data](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/sakila/en/). I found myself needing test data when I am creating new plugins and wanted something with complex enough relations for realistic development. While the SQL dump provided by MySQL is okay, it doesn't follow full Cake conventions. This plugin includes full cake conventions and additional schema improvements.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require cnizzardini/cakephp-sakila-plugin
bin/cake plugin load Sakila
```

Alternatively after composer installing you can manually load the plugin in your Application:

```
# src/Application.php
public function bootstrap(): void
{
    // other logic...
    $this->addPlugin('Sakila');
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Run migrate and seed with `-p Sakila`

```
bin/cake migrations migrate -p Sakila
bin/cake migrations seed -p Sakila
```

Baking
------

[](#baking)

You should now be able to bake a full application skeleton

```
bin/cake bake all --everything
```

Verify everything is working by running `bin/cake server`

Schema
------

[](#schema)

See [config/Migrations/20200422015732\_Initial.php](config/Migrations/20200422015732_Initial.php) for full schema.

Unit Tests
----------

[](#unit-tests)

Unit tests ensure the schema can be built and seeders run. It uses `cakephp/migrations` and SQLite for the data store.

```
vendor/bin/phpunit
```
