README

This package contains a Service Provider that automatically registers the faker-provider-collection library with your Laravel application.

Detailed information about the various Faker providers exposed by faker-provider-collection can be found here.

Quickstart

Add the provider to your Laravel project with Composer:

composer require --dev mbezhanov/laravel-faker-provider-collection

Add the FakerServiceProvider class to your ./bootstrap/providers.php file:

return [ // other provider definitions Bezhanov\Faker\Laravel\FakerServiceProvider::class, ];

At this point, you should be able to use the all the additional faker providers bundled with the library in your Model Factories

In example, assuming you have defined the following model factory:

<?php namespace Database\Factories; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory; class StudentFactory extends Factory { /**  * Define the model's default state.  *  * @return array<string, mixed>  */ public function definition(): array { return [ 'university' => fake()->university, 'sport' => fake()->sport, 'team' => fake()->team, ]; } }

You should be able to do:
