Callable Save vs string

[jdgriffith]

Is it possible to set the save method to a Closure? I was doing this in a previous version and it worked pretty well. I am trying to save models to a mongo instance. I was able to set the callable maker but could not find the same functionality with the save.

Hmmm, no.

We decided to remove that ability in 3.0. Instead, we recommend you use a custom ModelStore class.

Just pass your custom instance as the first param when constructing a factory muffin object.

[jdgriffith]

Well bum. I didn't follow your last comment. Do you have an example?

[GrahamCampbell]

Extend our model store class, override the stuff you want changing, then when you do new FactoryMuffin(), instead do new FactoryMuffin(new YourStoreClass()).

[jdgriffith]

Ok thanks.

[GrahamCampbell]

We decided that was a better way to do things than have a hacky override using closures. :)

I do not see the Model Store class you are referencing. Are you referencing the Definition class?

Perfect! Much less hacky and OO. I must be on a different version. Will check my composer file. Thanks for all the responses!

If your using v2, then you can use a closure to customize stuff. See https://github.com/thephpleague/factory-muffin/tree/2.1#additional-customisation.

Ya, that's what I was doing before in v2. Honestly, I was hoping the groups and definitions were a little better in v3. It appears you can set a group off of a definition but can't search for all models belonging to a group. I suppose I could code that easily though.
