Seeding repeaters

Created 6 years ago by damian_nz

Hey I am wanting to create some seeds in my theme for repeaters that I reuse. Things like hero image, images with captions etc. As there are tables generated when creating repeaters in the backend I am wondering how I can create the repeaters programmatically to achieve the same result. Thanks 😄

Seeding repeaters is a lot like seeding any other stream. Then you sync the relations on the base entry.

So try and determine the entry model based on naming conventions for the repeater entry model and create a bunch - then sync their IDs to the entry that has the assigned repeater field.

if ($properties = array_get($commandResponse, 'props'))
{
    $properties = collect($properties)->mapWithKeys(
        function ($prop, $key)
        {
            return [str_slug($key) => $prop];
        }
    )->toArray();

    $repeater = $this->streams->findBySlugAndNamespace(
        $type->getSlug(), 'repeater'
    );
    $repeaterEntry = $repeater->getEntryModel();

    $repeater->setConfigAttribute([
        // 'related' => 'Anomaly\Streams\Platform\Model\Repeater\Repeater'.ucfirst($type->getSlug()).'EntryModel',
        'related' => class_basename($repeaterEntry),
    ]);

    foreach ($properties as $key => $value)
    {
        $repeaterEntry->setFieldValue($key, $value);
    }
}
