Generate Images with Seeds/Factories
Did you know that Faker can generate not only text values but also IMAGES? See avatar field here - it will generate 50x50 image:
$factory->define(User::class, function (Faker $faker) {
return [
'name' => $faker->name,
'email' => $faker->unique()->safeEmail,
'email_verified_at' => now(),
'password' => bcrypt('password'),
'remember_token' => Str::random(10),
'avatar' => $faker->image(storage_path('images'), 50, 50)
];
});
