To integrate calculated fields with Laravel's factory system, you can use the `afterCreating` method in your factory to calculate the calculated field after the model is created. Here is an example:
php
use App\Models\Profile;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;
class ProfileFactory extends Factory
{
protected $model = Profile::class;
public function definition()
{
return [
'user_id' => factory(User::class),
'weight' => $this->faker->randomNumber(3),
'height' => $this->faker->randomNumber(3),
'dob' => $this->faker->date,
];
}
public function afterCreating(Profile $profile)
{
$profile->bmi = $profile->weight / ($profile->height * $profile->height);
}
}
In this example, the `afterCreating` method is called after the `Profile` model is created. It calculates the `bmi` field based on the `weight` and `height` fields.
