This package provides a trait that can be used on a `Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase` to setup data once for the tests in that `TestCase`.

Notice:
-------

[](#notice)

This is an alternative to `Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase`. Use one or the other depending on the needs of the tests.

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

[](#installation)

Install via composer:

```
composer require vi5tar/laravel-persistingdatabase
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use ArticleSeeder;
use PostSeeder;
use Tests\TestCase;
use Vi5tar\PersistingDatabase;

class ExampleTest extends TestCase
{
    use PersistingDatabase;

    public function setupDb(): void
    {
        $this->seed([
            ArticleSeeder::class,
            PostSeeder::class
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * A basic feature test example.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function articleIndexTest()
    {
        $response = $this->get('/articles');
