This package provides a set of factories to build fake data using Laravel and the [JSON:API specification](https://jsonapi.org/).

Technologies
------------

[](#technologies)

- PHP 7.2+
- Laravel 5.8+

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

[](#installation)

To install through composer, simply put the following in your `composer.json` file:

```
{
    "require-dev": {
        "vgirol/jsonapi-faker-laravel": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

And then run `composer install` from the terminal.

### Quick Installation

[](#quick-installation)

Above installation can also be simplified by using the following command:

```
composer require vgirol/jsonapi-faker-laravel
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First create a faker generator.

```
use VGirol\JsonApiFaker\Laravel\Generator as JsonApiFaker;

$faker = new JsonApiFaker;
```

Then create a model and a factory.

```
$model = new DummyModel();
$factory = $faker->resourceObject($model, 'resourceType');
```

Next you can fill the factory ...

```
$factory->setMeta([
            'key1' => 'meta1'
        ])
        ->addLink('self', 'url');
```

Finally export as an array or as JSON.

```
$array = $factory->toArray();
$json = $factory->toJson();
```

All these instructions can be chained.

```
use VGirol\JsonApiFaker\Generator as JsonApiFaker;

$model = new DummyModel();
$json = new JsonApiFaker()
    ->resourceObject($model, 'resourceType')
    ->setMeta([
            'key1' => 'meta1'
        ])
    ->toJson();
```
