Hello guys i'm making seeder for my website and i need for my body column random text in three different langues.
DB::table('episodes')->insert([
'slug' => 'show-one-season-one-episode' . $i,
'title' => 'episode-name ' . $i,
'image' => $fakeDir . '/' . $fakeImg->random(),
'episode_number' => $i,
'season_id' => $showOneSeasonOne,
'body' => '', <---------- some code for three different languages
'view' => '2023213',
'published_at' => now(),
'created_at' => now(),
'updated_at' => now(),
]);
i have some code for images to get it randomly i want same but for text
if you are seeding random test data, Laravel best practice recommends using model factories.
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/database-testing#defining-model-factories
can you give some examples of what you want to have for your body field?
i have some english text some russian text and some georgian text and i want this text to come randomly in body field
but this text must come randomly
You can dynamically create a new Faker instance with a locale string, e.g.:
$faker = Faker\Factory::create('de_DE');
$faker->realText; // locale-specific text
So in your case:
$locales = ['en_GB', 'ru_RU', 'ka_GE'];
$faker = Faker\Factory::create(Arr::random($locales));
$faker->realText; // locale-specific text
hey thnx for asnwer but i'm new in laravel so i need more details how can i put that on my seeder?
having red lines on Faker\Factory and Arr
Red lines are likely namespace/import issues:
use Faker\Factory;
use Illuminate\Support\Arr;
// ...
$locales = ['en_GB', 'ru_RU', 'ka_GE'];
$faker = Faker\Factory::create(Arr::random($locales));
DB::table('episodes')->insert([
// ...
'body' => $faker->realText,
// ...
]);
Class 'Database\Seeders\Faker\Factory' not found
but i have so i dont understand why i'm getting that error faker php faker 1 14
Ensure both use imports are above the class EpisodeSeeder (or whatever your class is named); I suppose it is not there already - this is PHP 101...
as you have
use Faker\Factory;
then you can just access it via:
$faker = Factory::create(Arr::random($locales));
guys thank u so much <3 its working but i have one problem on lang switcher its working on georgian on russian but on english its showing russian language
Show your implementation
DB::table('shows')->insertGetId([ 'body' => $faker->realText,
]);
DB::table('translations')->insert([ 'table_name' => 'shows', 'column_name' => 'body', 'foreign_key' => '1', 'locale' => 'en', 'value' => $faker->realText, 'created_at' => now(), 'updated_at' => now(), ]);
DB::table('translations')->insert([ 'table_name' => 'shows', 'column_name' => 'body', 'foreign_key' => '1', 'locale' => 'ru', 'value' => $faker->realText, 'created_at' => now(), 'updated_at' => now(), ]);
Can you please format your code correctly and include all of your relevant code?
i changed code
' $fakerGe = Factory::create('ka_GE');
$fakerEn = Factory::create('en_GB');
$fakerRu = Factory::create('ru_RU'); '
:P and now its works like i wanted big big big big big big big big big thnx <3
