In this step, we will install the laravel 9 application using the following command.

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel9_command
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root

After that, migrate the table into the database using the artisan command.

php artisan migrate

 

 

Now, we will make a custom artisan command using the below command.

php artisan make:command CreateUsers

app/Console/Commands/CreateUsers.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Console\Commands;
  
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use App\Models\User;
  
class CreateUsers extends Command
{
    /**
     * The name and signature of the console command.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $signature = 'create:users {count}';
  
    /**
     * The console command description.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $description = 'Create Dummy Users for your App';
  
    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return int
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $numberOfUsers = $this->argument('count');
  
        for ($i = 0; $i < $numberOfUsers; $i++) { 
            User::factory()->create();
        }  
  
        return 0;
    }
}

php artisan create:users 5
  
php artisan create:users 15
