Eloquent Mockery

Mock your eloquent queries without the repository pattern.

Why this package was invented?

• It solves the problem of "slow tests" by removing the interactions with a real database.
• It simplifies the process of writing and running tests, since your tests will be "DB Independent".

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require imanghafoori/eloquent-mockery --dev

Usage:

First you have to define a new connection in your config/database.php and set the driver to 'arrayDB'.

<?php

return [
  
   ...
  
  'connections' => [
     'my_test_connection' => [
         'driver' => 'arrayDB',
         'database' => '',
     ],
     
     ...
  ],
  ...
]

Then you can:

public function test_basic()
{
    config()->set('database.default', 'my_test_connection');

    // ::Arrange:: (Setup Sample Data)
    FakeDB::addRow('users', ['id' => 1, 'username' => 'faky', 'password' => '...']);
    FakeDB::addRow('users', ['id' => 1, 'username' => 'maky', 'password' => '...']);

    // ::Act:: (This query resides in your controller)
    $user = User::where('username', 'faky')->first();   # <=== This does NOT connect to a real DB.

    // ::Assert::
    $this->assert($user->id === 1);
    $this->assert($user->username === 'faky');
}

Mocking a create query:

public function test_basic()
{
    # ::Arrange::
    FakeDB::mockEloquentBuilder();

    # ::Act::
    // In your controller:
    // $user = User::create(['username' => 'iman', 'email' => '[email protected]']);   # <=== This does NOT connect to DB.
    $this->post('/create-url', ['some' => 'data' ])

    // ::Assert::
    $user = User::first();
    $this->assertEquals('iman', $user->username);
    
    FakeDB::dontMockEloquentBuilder();
}
