Passing data to tests

[markhuot]

It feels a bit awkward to me to write $this-> inside of a beforeEach() since I'm not looking at a class Foo {}. So, this idea borrows from Vue 3's setup() construct where anything returned from setup() in Vue is automatically available within the <template>.

What if anything returned from a beforeEach() or a beforeAll() was automatically merged and passed in to each test. Something like this,

beforeEach(fn () => [
  'user' => $user = User::factory()->create(),
  'post' => Post::factory()->create(['author_id' => $user->id]),
]);

it('expects a post to have one and only one author', function (User $user, Post $post]) {
  expect($post)->author->id->toBe($user->id);
}
