factory error
This is the factory code
namespace Database\Factories;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;
/**
* @extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory<\App\Models\Project>
*/
class ProjectFactory extends Factory
{
/**
* Define the model's default state.
*
* @return array<string, mixed>
*/
public function definition()
{
return [
'title' => $faker->sentence,
'description' => $faker->paragraph
];
}
}
when i run this with tinker ,
factory('App\Models\project')->make()
PHP Error: Call to undefined function factory() in C:\laragon\www\birdboard-testeval()'d code on line 1

@jaspal you're trying to use old way for new laravel version. Now it should works like
App\Models\Project::factory()->make()
read more in the docs https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent-factories#instantiating-models

@jaspal because $faker is not defined?
https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent-factories#introduction
public function definition()
{
return [
'title' => $this->faker->sentence(),
'description' => $this->faker->paragraph()
];
}
or
public function definition()
{
return [
'title' => fake()->sentence(),
'description' => fake()->paragraph()
];
}

Convert your factory to be
namespace Database\Factories;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;
/**
* @extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory<\App\Models\Project>
*/
class ProjectFactory extends Factory
{
/**
* Define the model's default state.
*
* @return array<string, mixed>
*/
public function definition()
{
return [
'title' => fake()->sentence,
'description' => fake()->paragraph
];
}
}
And call it like
App\Models\Project::factory()->make()
