how can I fill the DB with dummy data?

[sanjana singh]

I want to make multiple changes, but I don't know how to see it in working I just to want to create few cats and 1000-3000 products
with DB seeding and faker

Hi,

1. To do for products you have to take a deep dive in productRepository class present in product package. It already have create and update methods inside it. To create a product you would be needed to select three things:
   a. SKU
   b. Attribute Family
   c. Select variants if you are creating congurable product.

Both the methods create and update in productRepository should work simultaneously if you want to create a product at one go.

To create products with faker you will just need to inject productRepository class and then create products with all necessary values used as it.

2. For categories, you can refer this blog: https://bagisto.com/en/create-new-category-and-root-category-in-bagisto/

I created Categories in a seeder this way

[alkhachatryan]

And this is the Product seeder

public function run()
    {
        $faker = \Faker\Factory::create();

        $product_repo = new \Webkul\Product\Repositories\ProductRepository(
            new AttributeRepository(new AttributeOptionRepository(app()), app()),
            new AttributeOptionRepository(app()),
            new ProductAttributeValueRepository(new AttributeRepository(new AttributeOptionRepository(app()), app()), app()),
            new ProductInventoryRepository(app()),
            new ProductImageRepository(app()),
            app()
        );

        $product_inv_repo = new ProductInventoryRepository(app());
        
        $categories = \App\Category::where('id', '!=', 1)->get()->pluck('id');

        for ($i = 0; $i < 2500; $i++){
            $product = $product_repo->create([
                'type' => 'simple',
                'attribute_family_id' => 1,
                'sku' => $faker->slug(2)
            ]);

            $product_repo->updateVariant([
                'sku' => $faker->uuid,
                'name' => $faker->words(3, true),
                'channel' => 'default',
                'status' => 1,
                'price' => rand(200, 90000),
                'weight' => rand(200, 90000),
                'locale' => 'en',
                'url_key' => $faker->slug,
                'new' => rand(0, 1),
                'featured' => rand(0, 1),
                'visible_individually' => 1,
                'color' => rand(1, 3),
                'size' => 5,
                'short_description' => $faker->words(5, true),
                'description' => $faker->words(45, true),
                'meta_title' => $faker->words(2, true),
                'meta_keywords' => implode(',', $faker->words(45)),
                'meta_description' => $faker->words(45, true),

            ], $product->id);

            $product_repo->update(
                [
                    'categories' => $categories [ rand(0, count($categories) - 1) ],
                ],
                $product->id, false, true );


            $product_inv_repo->saveInventories([
                'inventories' => [
                        1 => rand(10, 1000)
                    ],
            ], $product);

            $product_repo->getProductImageRepository()->uploadImages([
                'images' => [
                        'image_1' => $faker->image(),
                        'image_2' => $faker->image(),
                        'image_3' => $faker->image(),
                    ],
            ], $product, true);



             ProductFlat::whereProductId($product->id)
            ->update([
                'url_key' => $faker->slug,
                'new' => rand(0, 1),
                'featured' => rand(0, 1),
                'visible_individually' => 1,
                'color' => rand(1, 3),
                'size' => 5,
                'channel' => 'default',
                'locale' => 'en',
                'short_description' => $faker->words(5, true),
                'description' => $faker->words(45, true),
                'meta_title' => $faker->words(2, true),
                'meta_keywords' => implode(',', $faker->words(45)),
                'meta_description' => $faker->words(45, true),
            ]);
             
            echo $i . PHP_EOL;
        }

    }

@alkhachatryan said in how can I fill the DB with dummy data?:

$product_repo = new \Webkul\Product\Repositories\ProductRepository(
new AttributeRepository(new AttributeOptionRepository(app()), app()),
new AttributeOptionRepository(app()),
new ProductAttributeValueRepository(new AttributeRepository(new AttributeOptionRepository(app()), app()), app()),
new ProductInventoryRepository(app()),
new ProductImageRepository(app()),
app()
);

error

Argument 2 passed to Webkul\Product\Repositories\ProductRepository::__construct() must be an instance of Illuminate\Container\Container, instan
ce of Webkul\Attribute\Repositories\AttributeOptionRepository given, called in D:\laragon\www\ecom\database\seeds\ProductSeeder.php on line 30

[devansh-webkul]

Hi @nikul,

Please check your arguments which you have passed in the constructor.

[yiara]

@nikul did you find a solution to this?

[yiara]

@devansh-webkul got the same issue can and I checked, everything is passed successfully any idea how to fix it?

[devansh-webkul]

Hi @yiara,

I am not getting this, what he is trying to do. I just answered the error which he caused.

If you want help then first elaborate on what you are trying to do and the implementation steps.

So that I can further check.

[yiara]

I tried the above steps to import dummy data in my database, I got the same issue as this

Argument 2 passed to Webkul\Product\Repositories\ProductRepository::__construct() must be an instance of Illuminate\Container\Container, instan
ce of Webkul\Attribute\Repositories\AttributeOptionRepository given, called in D:\laragon\www\ecom\database\seeds\ProductSeeder.php on line 30

regardless that I checked the arguments I passed in the instructor and everything is fine

[devansh-webkul]

So your issue is resolved now.
