Is there a way I can run something like this in my seeder, passing the user_id instead of ???
$users = User::factory()
->hasTeams(1, [
'user_id' => ???,
])
->create();
I have already set up my TeamFactory, another option would eb to pass the user_id to the TeamFactory class somehow.
Any ideas?
Ok I'm feelign stupid, the solution is of course in the TeamFactory:
public function definition()
{
return [
'user_id' => User::factory()->create(),
'name' => $this->faker->words(2, true),
'personal_team' => true,
];
}
And seed the teams, not the users. I tried this first but got an error..
Remember to add the HasFactory trait to the Team Model!
@P-James Hi, I know this is old thread, but can you give me an example how you do it? I still not getting it. Thanks!
@fahmidotexe Can you paste your seeder and factories that you're running?
The premise is replace the foreign key in the factory, eg user_id, with a model.
I'm working on a Laravel 9 project with Jetstream and setting up Spatie Permissions package. The following code worked for me. Hopefully it will help someone else looking to do something similar. I have this code in my UserTableSeeder class.
public function run()
{
$user = User::create([
// populate user fields
]);
// This code is taken from "App\Actions\Fortify\CreateNewUser.php"
$user->ownedTeams()->save(Team::forceCreate([
'user_id' => $user->id,
'name' => explode(' ', $user->name, 2)[0]."'s Team",
'personal_team' => true,
]));
}
