Generates Zenstruck Foundry factories for PHP entities to automate realistic test data creation.
The PHP Make Factory skill streamlines the development of automated tests by generating Zenstruck Foundry factories for your PHP entities. It analyzes your entity's constructor and properties to create a production-ready factory class that utilizes Faker for realistic data generation. By following Elegant Objects principles, it employs the instantiateWith() pattern instead of direct instantiation, ensuring your test suite remains clean, maintainable, and aligned with modern PHP best practices.
