Faker Fixtures Maker for Symfony
================================

[](#faker-fixtures-maker-for-symfony)

This bundle allows fast generation of realistic fake datas for your database, in the `make` style that we love. Huge thanks to the wonderfull [Faker library](https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker/).

### Main features

[](#main-features)

- Zero config, easy to use
- Faker method selection based on entities attributes
- Handling of associations
- Fixtures order based on association dependencies
- For Symfony 4+

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute:

```
$ composer require gsylvestre/symfony-faker-fixtures
```

How to use
==========

[](#how-to-use)

1. Generate your new fixture command with:

    ```
    $ php bin/console make:faker-fixtures
    ```
2. Load magic datas in your database with:

    ```
    $ php bin/console app:fixtures:load
    ```

---

### Editing the fixtures

[](#editing-the-fixtures)

This bundle generates fixtures for you. Once done, you are free to edit them.

If needed (and it should), edit the generated `FakerFixturesCommand.php`:

1. To adapt the number of entities to generate, or the order
2. To adapt the Faker methods used and/or the logic

### Start over?

[](#start-over)

If you ever need to regenerates all your fixtures, you can do so by running:

```
$ php bin/console make:faker-fixtures --delete-previous
```

Be aware that *you will lose all changes* made to your fixtures command!

### Localize faker datas?

[](#localize-faker-datas)

If you want your generated datas localized, run:

```
$ php bin/console make:faker-fixtures --locale=fr_FR
```
