Laravel Faker OpenAI Provider
=============================

[](#laravel-faker-openai-provider)

[![Tests](https://github.com/jpcaparas/laravel-faker-openai/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/jpcaparas/laravel-faker-openai/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)

 [![Usage](./image/usage.gif)](./image/usage.gif)

A Laravel package that extends FakerPHP by adding an AI-powered data generator using OpenAI. This allows you to generate more realistic and context-aware fake data in your Laravel applications.

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

[](#installation)

Install the package via Composer:

```
composer require jpcaparas/laravel-faker-openai
```

The package will automatically register its service provider if you're using Laravel's package auto-discovery.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

1. Next, execute the install command:

```
php artisan openai:install
```

This will create a `config/openai.php` configuration file in your project, which you can modify to your needs using environment variables.

2. Make sure you have your OpenAI API key set in your `.env` file:

```
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
```

3. The package uses `gpt-3.5-turbo` model by default.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The package adds a new `promptAI()` method to the Faker generator. You can use it in several ways:

### Basic Usage

[](#basic-usage)

```
$faker = app(\Faker\Generator::class);

// Generate a fake name using AI
$name = $faker->promptAI('name');

// Generate a movie review
$review = $faker->promptAI('movieReview');

// Generate a movie description
$description = $faker->promptAI('movieDescription');
```

... you can also use the built-in `fake()` helper:

```
$name = fake('name');
```

### With Fallback Values

[](#with-fallback-values)

You can provide fallback values that will be used if the AI request fails:

```
// String fallback
$name = $faker->promptAI('name', 'John Doe');

// Closure fallback
$name = $faker->promptAI('name', fn() => 'John Doe');
```

### Error Handling

[](#error-handling)

By default, errors are logged and the fallback value is returned. You can make it throw exceptions instead:

```
try {
    $name = $faker->promptAI('name', null, true); // Set throwOnError to true
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    // Handle the error
}
```

How It Works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

The package works by:

1. Intercepting FakerPHP method calls through a prompt
2. Sending them to OpenAI's GPT model
3. Returning AI-generated responses that match FakerPHP's expected output format

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

Run the test suite:

```
composer test
```
