Make your laravel test easier
composer require jokersk/sonata
in your test file add Sonata\Traits\LetsPlaySonata trait, that it!
use Sonata\Traits\LetsPlaySonata;
class SomeTest extends TestCase
{
use LetsPlaySonata, RefreshDatabase;
...
}asume you have a model \App\Models\Post, we can create model like this
$this->create(Post::class);if you want to get the created post model, you can
$post = $this->create(Post::class)->getCreated();now we have a model \App\Models\Comment, and in \App\Models\Post model have HasMany relation like
public function comments()
{
return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);
}we can create the models without sonata like this
$post = Post::factory()->create();
$comment = Comment::factory()->create(['post_id' => $post->id]);but with sonata, you can create the models like
$this->create(Post::class)->with(Comment::class);no matter HasMany, BelongsTo, BelongsToMany, morphMany, morphToMany, you can just use with function, sonata will handle the save, associate, or attach for you
if you want to get created models you can
[$post, $comment] = $this->create(Post::class)->with(Comment::class)->get([Post::class, Comment::class]);or
[$post, $comment] = $this->create(Post::class)->with(Comment::class)->get();$this->create(Post::class, [
'title' => 'abc',
'body' => 'hi'
]);or
$this->set([
'title' => 'abc',
'body' => 'hi'
])->create(Post::class);to set attributes to with function, we can do that
$this->create(Post::class)->with(Comment::class, [
'body' => 'foo'
]);by default Sonata will find the currect function name, but sometimes your function name is unpredictable
eg. Post model has many Comment, so you will have a function call comments, but sometimes will call the function
activeComments, in this case, you can call
$this->create(Post::class)->by('activeComments')->with(Comment::class);can use createFrom methods to create relation with existing model
$post = Post::factory()->create();
$comment = $this->createFrom($post)->with(Comment::class)->get(Comment::class);$foo = Sonata::createMock('where()->first()->content', 'hello');now you call $foo->where()->first()->content, will equal to 'hello'
