In this section we will see how to create image fake data in laravel 9. We will create image fake data and also set fake image size height & width.
Step 1: Create Laravel Project
Installing a fresh new laravel 9 application, so head over to the terminal, type the command, and create a new laravel app.
composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-faker
Step 2: Set Up Database Details in ENV
Now, you have to connect the laravel app to the database, hence open the .env configuration file and add the database credentials as suggested below.
.env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=database_name
DB_USERNAME=database_user_name
DB_PASSWORD=database_password
Step 3: Create Image Modal Migration and Factory
Create Image Modal with migration
php artisan make:model Image -m
Create Image Factory
php artisan make:factory ImageFactory --model=Image
Shorthand
You can simply create Modal with migration & Factory in single command.
php artisan make:model Image -mf

public function up()
{
Schema::create('images', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('image');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Step 4: Add Image fake data method in image Factory
Add image fake()->imageUrl() to create fake image placeholder.
database/factories/ImageFactory.php
<?php
namespace Database\Factories;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;
/**
* @extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory<\App\Models\Image>
*/
class ImageFactory extends Factory
{
/**
* Define the model's default state.
*
* @return array<string, mixed>
*/
public function definition()
{
return [
'image' => fake()->imageUrl(),
];
}
}
You can also set fake image size height and width.
'image' => fake()->imageUrl($width=400, $height=400)
Import Image Model in DatabaseSeeder.php to create image fake data
database/seeders/DatabaseSeeder.php
<?php
namespace Database\Seeders;
// use Illuminate\Database\Console\Seeds\WithoutModelEvents;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Seed the application's database.
*
* @return void
*/
public function run()
{
\App\Models\Image::factory(10)->create();
}
}
Run migrate with seeder
php artisan migrate:fresh --seed
Step 5: Check Image Fake data via laravel tinker
Now check image fake data in laravel tinker.
php artisan ti
