[![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/innoflash/steroid-seeder/master/images/carbon.png "Steroid Seeder")](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/innoflash/steroid-seeder/master/images/carbon.png) Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require innoflash/steroid-seeder --dev ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Used the same way we do with default Laravel `factory` > If you wanna use it in your existing seeding files just replace `factory` with `steroidFactory` > > Alternatively you can call the factory from the facade. `SteroidSeeder::factory` Default `factory` seeds one model at a time and that elongates the time of execution for huge data-sets. ``` // with default factory (approx 37 seconds on my computer) factory(TestModel::class, 1000)->create(); ``` ``` //with steroidFactory (approx 8 seconds on my machine) steroidFactory(\App\TestModel::class, 1000)->create(); ``` ##### Steroid seeder optimization. [](#steroid-seeder-optimization) - By default the `steroidFactory` save 1000 entries at a go, you cant tune this to whatever size that works for you. ``` // took 8.8 seconds to seed 10k entries steroidFactory(\App\TestModel::class, 100000) ->chunk(1000) ->create(); ``` - By default the Laravel factory calls some callbacks after creating your models. This is when the model boot and observers are called and its time consuming because the factory iterate over all the created models. steroidFactory lets you ignore the callbacks. ``` // took 4.3 seconds to seed 10k entries steroidFactory(\App\TestModel::class, 100000) ->skipAfterCreatingCallbacks() ->create(); ``` ### Seeding relationships [](#seeding-relationships) Steroid seeder can be used to create models with their relationships. It's a continuation of the above except that the you will need to chain your relationships on the factory. See the example below: ``` steroidFactory(TestModel::class) ->with(Comment::class) ->with(Reaction::class, 1, [], 'model_id') ->create(); ``` Here is the params expected in the `with` function. PositionVariableTypeRequiredDefaultDescription`1``$class``string``true``null`The class name of the model to be related with the model in create.`2``$size``int``false``1`The number of models to be seeded with the parent in`create`.`3``$attributes``array``false``[]`The default attributes to set to the models.`4``$foreignKeyName``string``false`parent keyThe name of the parent's foreign key column name in the models to be seeded.### Testing [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` ### Changelog [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.
