Specify Custom Factory Path

Laravel automatically looks in the database/factories for Factory classes, but you can specify any Factory for the model on the model itself like so:

 1<?php
 2 
 3namespace App\Models;
 4 
 5use Database\Factories\UserFactory;
 6use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
 7 
 8class User extends Authenticatable
 9{
10    // ...
11 
12    protected static function newFactory()
13    {
14        return new UserFactory();
15    }
16}
