Laravel Factory With Unique Value Columns
Submitted by lcdss - 8 years ago
When you have a model with unique value column and tries seeder your table using a big amout, sometimes the QueryException is thrown, because Faker doesn't know what values was previously generated and the number of combinations is limited.
// database/factories/ModelFactory.php
$factory->define(App\Subject::class, function (Faker\Generator $faker) {
return [
'name' => $faker->city,
];
});
// database/seeds/SubjectTableSeeder.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
class SubjectTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* @return void
*/
public function run()
{
$subjects = factory(App\Subject::class, 500)->make();
foreach ($subjects as $subject) {
repeat:
try {
$subject->save();
} catch (\Illuminate\Database\QueryException $e) {
$subject = factory(App\Subject::class)->make();
goto repeat;
}
}
}
}
