[php-test-fixture-loading](https://github.com/golossus/php-lazy-proxy-loading) is a package which tries to ease in the process of loading testing fixtures to have a better maintainability and code reuse. With this package, (data) fixtures can be created as simple classes that can be joined to compose more complex testing scenarios.

Use the trait [FixtureLoaderTrait](./lib/FixtureLoaderTrait.php) on a base test class or `TestCase`. Those will typically inherit from a `PHPUnit`test class, like the *Symfony* `WebTestCase` or similar.

Additionally, this trait has an abstract method `buildFixture` which should be implemented as well. This method is responsible to adapt the way data fixtures are instantiated, because different projects might follow different approaches. This is specially true when a Dependency Injection container is needed to build a fixture.

As an example take the following `TestCase` class which uses a *Symfony* 4 `WebTestCase`. Take a look at the trait and the method:
