Factories
---------

[](#factories)

The package can generate factories for your models.
The factories will be created in `database/factories` directory, and they use standard Laravel `fake` functions to fill fields.

You can generate model factories with the command:

```
php artisan laravel-models-generator:generate -f
```

or

```
php artisan laravel-models-generator:generate --factories
```

Other usages
------------

[](#other-usages)

To generate models from a specific connection:

```
php artisan laravel-models-generator:generate -c=connection
```

To generate models from a specific schema:

```
php artisan laravel-models-generator:generate -s=schema
```

To generate a single table:

```
php artisan laravel-models-generator:generate -t=users
```

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require giacomomasseron/laravel-models-generator
```

You can publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="models-generator-config"
```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
php artisan laravel-models-generator:generate
```

Polymorphic relationships
-------------------------

[](#polymorphic-relationships)

To add polymorphic relationships to your models, you can use `morphs` array in the config file.
If you have tables like this:

```
posts
id - integer
name - string

users
id - integer
name - string

images
id - integer
url - string
imageable_id - integer
imageable_type - string

```

And config file like this:

```
'morphs' => [
    'posts' => 'imageable'
],
```

This relationship will be created in the `Image` model:

```
public function imageable(): MorphTo
{
    return $this->morphTo(__FUNCTION__, 'imageable_type', 'imageable_id');
}
```

This relationship will be created in the `Post` model:

```
public function images(): MorphMany
{
    return $this->morphMany(Image::class, 'images');
}
```

Interfaces
----------

[](#interfaces)

If you want your models implement interface(s), use `interfaces` value in config:

```
'interfaces' => [
],
```

Traits
------

[](#traits)

If you want your models use trait(s), use `traits` value in config:

```
'traits' => [
],
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```
