Factorista

A simple model factory tool bases on Laravel's Eloquent factories

Usage

This package is designed for easy use when no package builder (such as webpack) is being used.

We use this tool with Karma, in karam.conf.js, add the files

files : [
  'node_modules/faker/build/build/faker.js',
  'node_modules/designmynight/factorista/index.js'
]

Defining a factory

All functions available with Marak's Faker.js can be used

factoryDefine(User, (faker) => ({
  first_name: faker.name.firstName(),
  last_name: faker.name.lastName(),
}));

Calling a factory

// make a single user
const user = factory(User).make();

// make mulitple users
const users = factory(User, 5).make();

// make users with overrides
const users = factory(User, 5).make((faker) => ({
    first_name: 'Ralph',
    last_name: faker.lorem.word()
}));
