seeding - assign roles

Hi,

I am seeding my database and I am struggling to assign roles to my admins. For example I have

	//creates 2 clients
        Client::factory()
            ->times(2)

            //creates 3 institutions
            ->has(Institution::factory()->count(3)

                                //creates 3 "level 1" admins and attach in pivot table
                                ->hasAttached(Admin::factory()->count(3))

                                //creates 3 users
                                ->has(User::factory()->count(3))

                            )

            ->create();

I need to give a role to the admins. I understand the admin needs be persisted for the role to be applied.

$admin->assignRole('Admin level 1');

I can not really use

    /**
     * Configure the model factory.
     *
     * @return $this
     */
    public function configure()
    {
        return $this->afterMaking(function (Admin $admin) {
            //
        })->afterCreating(function (Admin $admin) {
		$admin->assignRole('Admin level 1');
        });
    }

as I need to create other types of users in other factories.

Any suggestions?

Hi @rffred

I have yet to upgrade to Laravel 8 yet, so not 100% if this will work or not.

But you could try adding a state method

so you would call Client::factory()->times(2)->isAdmin()->create()

And that would apply your afterCreating logic

    /**
     * Configure the model factory.
     *
     * @return $this
     */
    public function isAdmin()
    {
        return $this->afterMaking(function (Admin $admin) {
            //
        })->afterCreating(function (Admin $admin) {
		$admin->assignRole('Admin level 1');
        });
    }

I would assume that something like this is available, as it is something that you could do with states on the legacy style factories.
