PHPMachinist: Testing Object Factory
====================================

[](#phpmachinist-testing-object-factory)

What???!??!
-----------

[](#what)

A Slightly less annoying way of creating database fixtures for PHP testing. It borrows heavily from several projects:

-
- [https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory\_girl](https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl)
-
-

They're totally awesome. Just either in the wrong language, or didn't quite do what I wanted.

Hip Hop VM (HHVM) Support
-------------------------

[](#hip-hop-vm-hhvm-support)

Hip Hop VM is supported and tested. If you want to use the Doctrine store, it will require Doctrine ORM 2.4.x or newer.

Data Store Support
------------------

[](#data-store-support)

The following data stores are currently supported:

- PDO
    - MySQL
    - SQLite
- Doctrine 2 ORM

Install
-------

[](#install)

Add the package derptest/phpmachinist to your composer.json For more information about Composer, please visit

Configure
---------

[](#configure)

Configuration of PHP Machinist happens in two steps:

1. Register data stores

    Registering data stores is done via either the static `Machinist::store()` method or the `addStore()` method on a Machinist instance. Both methods take the same parameters, a `StoreInterface`instance and an optional name for that store. If no name is given, it will default to `default`. Below is an example of both:

    ```
