Fixtures Management for the li₃ framework.
==========================================

[](#fixtures-management-for-the-li-framework)

This plugin provide fixtures managment. Should work with any kind of `Source`adapters. The fixture class support the following datasource's hints:

- If `Source::enabled('schema')` returns `true`, the `Fixture` manage schema (i.e create/drop) via `Source::createSchema()` & `Source::dropSchema()`.
- If `Source::enabled('sources')` returns `true`, the `Fixture` allow soft drop (i.e safe options).

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

[](#installation)

The preferred installation method is via composer. You can add the library as a dependency via:

```
composer require unionofrad/li3_fixtures

```

li₃ plugins must be registered within your application bootstrap phase as they use a different (faster) autoloader.

```
Libraries::add('li3_fixtures')
```

The official manual has more information on [how to register the plugin](http://li3.me/docs/manual/installation/plugins.md)with the app or use alternative installation methods (i.e. via GIT).
