Description
Random IDs might be okay for testing, but seeding generally requires that table IDs increment in the order they were inserted.
This can be accomplished by assigning a count to each item in a table fixture and referencing the count when inserting.
// apples.php
return [
// ID: 1
'Granny-Smith' => [
'color' => 'green',
'description' => 'Tart'
],
// ID: 2
'Red Delicious' => [
'color' => 'red',
'description' => 'Slightly Tart'
]
];So when we insert a foreign key:
// apple_sauces.php
return [
// ID: 1
'Treetop' => [
'apple_id' => 'Red Delicious' // foreign key ID 1
],
// ID: 2
'Kirkland' => [
'apple_id' => 'Red Delicious' // foreign key ID 1
]
];Obviously requires preprocessing all fixtures.
Here's an alternative (allow integer values to be assigned as foreign keys):
// apple_sauces.php
return [
// ID: 1
'Treetop' => [
'apple_id' => 1
],
// ID: 2
'Kirkland' => [
'apple_id' => 1
]
];Metadata
