Factories in docs explained badly - Ageir - 02-06-2021
I'm trying to figure out how to use factories in CI4.
But the documentation is not up to par on explaining it.
For example here:https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/concepts/factories.html
Code:
<?php
namespace Config;
use CodeIgniter\Config\Factory as BaseFactory;
use CodeIgniter\Filters\FilterInterface;
class Factories extends BaseFactory
{
public $filters = [
'instanceOf' => FilterInterface::class,
];
}This example seems to be a mix of the Config/Factory.php and Factories.php files mentioned above the code.
Anyone here that can give a working example? Both files mentioned, and where do I place the Factories.php file? in app/Factories ?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Code:
$data = Factories::myfactoryfunction('Data');How do I create a new Factory function like above?
Shouldn't be too hard i guess, but I can't figure it out by reading the documentation.
And I haven't found any examples searching the web. Any help appreciated.

Yes, it is difficult to understand how to use Factories.
How about this?
PHP Code:
$data = Factories::myfactoryfunction(Data::class);

+1 to this, documentation basically explains nothing on this topic

Hello guys,
I found how to do.
Create the file app/Config/Factory.php where to set these options. Then check that the namespace is Config such as te other config file (not App/Config).
Hope this help you.
