Laravel - Database - Factory States
State manipulation methods allow you to define discrete modifications that can be applied to your model factories in any combination. For example, your Database\Factories\UserFactory
factory might contain a suspended
state method that modifies one of its default attribute values.
State transformation methods typically call the state
method provided by Laravel's base factory class. The state
method accepts a closure which will receive the array of raw attributes defined for the factory and should return an array of attributes to modify:
/**
* Indicate that the user is suspended.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory
*/
public function suspended()
{
return $this->state(function (array $attributes) {
return [
'account_status' => 'suspended',
];
});
}
