Programmatic Usage

use Bberkaysari\LaravelTestGenerator\Core\ProjectAnalyzer;
use Bberkaysari\LaravelTestGenerator\Generator\Generators\ModelTestGenerator;
use Bberkaysari\LaravelTestGenerator\Generator\Generators\ControllerTestGenerator;

// Analyze entire project
$analyzer = new ProjectAnalyzer('/path/to/laravel');
$results = $analyzer->analyze();

// Results contain:
// - models: Array of analyzed models
// - controllers: Array of analyzed controllers  
// - migrations: Array of parsed migrations
// - statistics: Test estimates and metrics
// - performance: Execution time and memory

// Generate model tests
$modelGenerator = new ModelTestGenerator();
foreach ($results['models'] as $model) {
    $testCode = $modelGenerator->generate($model);
    file_put_contents("tests/Unit/{$model['name']}Test.php", $testCode);
}

// Generate controller tests  
$controllerGenerator = new ControllerTestGenerator();
foreach ($results['controllers'] as $controller) {
    $testCode = $controllerGenerator->generate($controller);
    file_put_contents("tests/Feature/{$controller['name']}Test.php", $testCode);
}
