Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPPHow to use a factory within a factory with Laravel?
I have a factory creating StreetAddresses and I want to use it in my factory that creates CreditCards.
GOOD: This behaves as expected, creating a CreditCard object with an stdClass for the street_address and the properties are all good.
<?php
use FuquIoLaravelAccountingOrmCreditCard;
use FuquIoLaravelCommonRelatablesLocatableStreetAddress;
use FuquIoLaravelUserAccessUser;
$factory->define(CreditCard::class, function (FakerGenerator $faker){
$street_address = factory(StreetAddress::class)->make();
return [
'customer_id' => User::root()->getKey(),
'cardholder' => $faker->firstName . ' ' . $faker->lastName,
'nick_name' => $faker->company,
// LOOK HERE: this works
'street_address' => function () use ($street_address) { return (object) $street_address->toArray(); }
];
});
NOT so good: This returns null for the street_address.
<?php
use FuquIoLaravelAccountingOrmCreditCard;
use FuquIoLaravelCommonRelatablesLocatableStreetAddress;
use FuquIoLaravelUserAccessUser;
$factory->define(CreditCard::class, function (FakerGenerator $faker){
$street_address = factory(StreetAddress::class)->make();
return [
'customer_id' => User::root()->getKey(),
'cardholder' => $faker->firstName . ' ' . $faker->lastName,
'nick_name' => $faker->company,
// LOOK HERE AGAIN: this makes a null
'street_address' => function () use ($street_address) { return $street_address; }
];
});
What I'd like, is to produce a CreditCard with a StreetAddress as a property.
