Matching factory values in Laravel 7 - php

Question

Good Afternoon,
I'm trying to create a Laravel factory where 2 of the 'columns' have the same values every time its called and the rest of the factory can be random.
For instance, I have the following columns in my DB
name
email
phone_number
status_message
status_code
I currently have my factory as follows;
$factory->define(Brand::class, function (Faker $faker) {
return [
'name' => $faker->unique()->company,
'email' => $faker->companyEmail,
'phone_number' => $faker->phoneNumber
];
});
This part works perfectly, as it should, the problem is that each specific status message comes with an individual status code. Is there a way I could add an array of status messages with a status code and have the factory pick a set at random for that record?
The status code / messages are listed below in array format;
[
'3e2s' => 'tangled web',
'29d7' => 'get certified',
'2r5g' => 'art of war',
]
I hope this makes sense. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

as i can understand u need to pick random from this array u mentioned in above
$factory->define(Brand::class, function (Faker $faker) {
$data = [
'3e2s' => 'tangled web',
'29d7' => 'get certified',
'2r5g' => 'art of war',
];
$statusCode = array_rand($data);
$statusMessage = $data[$statusCode];
return [
'name' => $faker->unique()->company,
'email' => $faker->companyEmail,
'phone_number' => $faker->phoneNumber,
'status_message' => $statusMessage,
'status_code' => $statusCode,
];
});
