Factory for model with custom namespace in Laravel 8
Hi all!
I have a little problem with new factories.
My models has custom namespaces like App\Domain\Product\Models\Product. And i want use a simple factory namespaces like \Database\Factories\ProductFactory.
When i try to make them from seed class:
Product::factory()->count(15)->create();
I get an error:
Class 'Database\Factories\Domain\Product\Models\ProductFactory' not found
But i dont want make so many folders, i want use Database\Factories\ProductFactory class.
When i make factory object manually, it works:
app(\Database\Factories\ProductFactory::class)->count(15)->create();
So, is there any way to use Model::factory() method and get \Database\Factories\ModelFactory object? Only delete new trait and make my own factory method?
Thanks!

By the way you can also just call ProductFactory::new() instead of using the trait on the model itself.

Hi @naysoewin,
Dont know how type code on this forum, so i try to add link on php sandbox: https://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/66c5113b13e89aeffc47eaea48ba210d29d76e01
I just add to AppServiceProvider calling method guessFactoryNamesUsing(), where i type a new way to determine the file path.

@evilalex @gcwilliams Thanks for asking/answering this!
A simple inline example, for posterity:
class VelkartServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function boot()
{
Factory::guessFactoryNamesUsing(function ($name) {
return (string) '\IndieHD\Velkart\Database\Factories\'.
(class_basename($name)).
'Factory';
});
}
}

I got to this question from DuckDuckGo-ing so apologies for the necro. I wanted to expand on the answer since the above only works if all your factories are in this different namespace, which is not the case always.
Per the docs you can define protected static newFactory() in a model that uses HasFactory and in that function return your custom factory, and that will work instead of doing the above in a service provider or every single test using your model.
