README

What is it?

Phactory is an alternative to using database fixtures in your PHP unit tests. Instead of maintaining a separate XML file of data, you define a blueprint for each table, and then create as many different objects as you need.

Phactory was inspired by Factory Girl.

Features

• Define default values for your table rows once with Phactory::define(), then easily create objects in that table with a call to Phactory::create().
• Create associations between your defined tables, and the objects will automatically be associated in the database upon creation.
• Use sequences to create unique values for each successive object you create.

Database Support

• MySQL
• Sqlite
• Postgresql

Language Support

• PHP >= 5.3

Limitations

• Each table must have a single integer primary key for associations to work.
