Laravel CLI Seeder
==================

[](#laravel-cli-seeder)

A (semi) intelligent utility to generate test data quickly.

About
=====

[](#about)

The idea behind this package is generate test data based on a table that acts as the central reference point. Often times, applications will have a table that effectively serves as the root node for a relationship graph. For example, a typical multi-tenancy application will define a tenants, accounts, customers, etc. table which other tables define a foreign relationship with.

Using `tenants` as the example table, there could be `users`, `settings`, and `posts` tables which each have a `tenant_id`. By setting the `Tenant` model as the parent model in the configuration, this package will query for all `tenants` and prompt to select one for the generation process. Anytime a column name `tenant_id` is encountered, the selected `tenant`'s primary key will be used.

In addition, when other foreign keys are detected, it will attempt to only use those which are assigned to the `tenant`, as well.
