Doctrine Data Fixtures is a PHP library for managing and loading data fixtures into databases via the Doctrine ORM or ODM. It provides a fixture loader and object reference tracking to populate databases with test or seed data.

Use cases

• load seed data into a doctrine database
• populate test databases with fixtures for phpunit
• create reusable fixture classes for doctrine orm
• share references between fixture objects when loading data
• reset and reload database data between tests

When to choose

• you use Doctrine ORM or MongoDB ODM and need fixture loading
• you want ordered fixture loading with shared object references
• you need deterministic test data for a PHP application

When to avoid

• you use a different ORM or raw SQL migrations for seeding
• you need production-scale data generation rather than fixture loading
• your project does not use PHP or Composer
