I have Articles with translations and I am trying to created a seeder for it.
I have a model factory to define a simple Article as follows:
$factory->define(\App\Article::class, function () {
return [];
});
And ArticleTranslation
$factory->defineAs(\App\ArticleTranslation::class, 'en_US', function (Faker\Generator $faker) {
$faker->addProvider(new Faker\Provider\en_US\Person($faker));
return [
'locale' => 'en',
'title' => $faker->realText(40),
'content' => $faker->realText(200),
];
});
I can use the article factory and for each one add a translation like this:
factory(\App\Article::class, 10)->create()->each(function ($article) {
$article->translations()->save(factory(\App\ArticleTranslation::class, 'en_US')->make());
});
However I believe there must be a way to define the Article factory in a way that requests the translations itself.
How can I do this?
