factory method on relations

[dillingham]

$customer = Customer::factory()->create();

$customer->addresses()->factory()->create(['city' => 'Miami']);
$customer->addresses()->factory()->create(['city' => 'New York']);

We know the Address model, its factory, and the value of the customer_id

Would be cool if Laravel added a factory method on relationship classes to set this up

Hi there ✋🏻

Actually we have this feature, you could try using the Factory Relationships and the Sequences to get the same result:

Customer::factory()
    ->has(
        Address::factory(2)
            ->state(new Sequence(
                ['city' => 'Miami'],
                ['city' => 'New York'],
            ))
    )
    ->create();

Hey @chuckrincon 👋

That is really cool, I should spend more time with sequences.. never used them.

I appreciate you taking the time to show me that.. very slick solution
