README

Trait to test that all your Laravel Models are instances of correct classes and all relations work

Installation

composer require paasky/laravel-model-test --dev

Usage

In any PHPUnit test

use Paasky\TestsModels;

class MyTest extends TestCase
{
    use RefreshDatabase, TestsModels;
    
    public function testModels()
    {
        $this->assertModels();
    }
}

Configuration

Configurations are public attributes of the TestsModels-Trait

modelPaths

Full path(s) to look in for Model classes, includes sub-folders.
Default: [app_path('Models')]

• $this->modelPaths = [app_path('Models'), app_path('SuperCoolModels')];
• Tip: If your models are directly in app, you can skip auto-discovery and pass an array of classes to assertModels():
  $this->assertModels([User::class, SomethingElse::class, ...]);

allowedInstances

Classes that found classes can be an instance of. Useful if your project has a custom Model-class.
Default: [Model::class]

• $this->allowedInstances = [ProjectModel::class];

allowNonModels

Skip or fail classes that are not instances of Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
Default: false (Fail)

• $this->allowNonModels = true;

requiredInstancePerModel

Override allowedInstances for specific classes by setting the required instance.
Default: ['App\User' => Authenticatable::class, 'App\Models\User' => Authenticatable::class]

• $this->requiredInstancePerModel[SimpleUser::class] = Model::class;

ignoreMethodsPerNamespace

Ignore these methods from validation, useful when packages don't typehint the return type and are failing
Use '*' to ignore all methods in the namespace
Default: ['Illuminate\\' => ['*']

• $this->ignoreMethodsPerNamespace['SomeDude\\Package\\'] = ['dumbMethod'];

enableBackRelationValidation

Should back relations (eg User has Post, so Post must have User) be validated
Default: true

• $this->enableBackRelationValidation = false;

enableBackRelationTypeValidation

Should back relation return types (eg User HasMany Posts, so Post must BelongTo User) be validated
Default: true

• $this->enableBackRelationTypeValidation = false;

skipBackRelationMethodsValidationPerModel

Methods to skip for back relation validation
Use '*' to ignore all methods of the class
Default: ['App\User' => ['tokens'], 'App\Models\User' => ['tokens']]

• $this->skipBackRelationMethodsValidationPerModel[PivotModel::class] = ['*'];
