    description: '<text(200)>'
    price: '<randomFloat(2, 10, 1000)>'
    stock: '<numberBetween(0, 100)>'
    category: '@category_*'  # Random category reference
    createdAt: '<dateTimeBetween("-1 year", "now")>'
    updatedAt: '<dateTimeThisMonth()>'
```

```yaml
# tests/Fixtures/ORM/Order.yml
App\Entity\Order:
  order_{1..5}:
    orderNumber: 'ORD-<numberBetween(10000, 99999)>'
    customer: '@user_<numberBetween(1, 10)>'
    status: '<randomElement(["pending", "processing", "completed", "cancelled"])>'
    totalAmount: '<randomFloat(2, 50, 5000)>'

### Load Fixtures for Specific Connection - PHP

Source: https://context7.com/macpaw/behat-doctrine-fixtures/llms.txt

Loads specified fixtures into a named database connection. This method is used within Behat scenarios to enable multi-database test setups by allowing different sets of fixtures to be loaded into different connections.

```php
<?php
// Used in Behat scenarios with the step definition:
// @Given I load fixtures :fixtures for :connectionName connection

use BehatDoctrineFixtures\Context\DatabaseContext;

public function loadFixturesForGivenConnection(string $fixtures, string $connectionName): void
{
    $fixtureAliases = array_map('trim', explode(',', $fixtures));
    $this->loadFixtures($connectionName, $fixtureAliases);
}
```

--------------------------------

### PHP: `beforeScenario` Behat Hook for Database Fixture Loading

Source: https://github.com/macpaw/behat-doctrine-fixtures/blob/develop/docs/DatabaseContext/beforeScenario.md

This PHP method, annotated with `@BeforeScenario`, serves as a hook in Behat to execute before each test scenario. Its primary function is to load database fixtures for all configured connections, preparing the database for scenario execution. It has no direct inputs or outputs and relies on Behat's event system.

```php
/**
 * @BeforeScenario
 */
public function beforeScenario(): void

```

--------------------------------

### Load Fixtures for Default Connection (PHP/Gherkin)

Source: https://github.com/macpaw/behat-doctrine-fixtures/blob/develop/docs/DatabaseContext/loadFixturesForDefaultConnection.md

```php
/**
 * @Given I load fixtures :fixtures
 */
public function loadFixturesForDefaultConnection(string $fixtures): void
```

```gherkin
Given I load fixtures "UserFixture, ProductFixture"
```

### Core Fixture Loading with Backup/Restore - PHP

Source: https://context7.com/macpaw/behat-doctrine-fixtures/llms.txt

The core fixture loading method that includes intelligent backup and restore capabilities for optimized test performance. It checks for existing backups of fixture combinations, restoring from backup if available, or preparing the schema, loading fixtures, and creating a backup if not.

```php
<?php

use BehatDoctrineFixtures\Database\DatabaseHelper;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManagerInterface;

class CustomTestContext
{
    private DatabaseHelper $databaseHelper;

    public function __construct(DatabaseHelper $databaseHelper)
    {
        $this->databaseHelper = $databaseHelper;
    }

    /**
     * @Given I have a clean database with :fixtures
     */
    public function loadCustomFixtures(string $fixtures): void
    {
        $fixtureAliases = array_map('trim', explode(',', $fixtures));

        // Loads fixtures with automatic backup/restore:
        // 1. Checks if backup exists for this fixture combination
        // 2. If yes: restores from backup (fast)
        // 3. If no: prepares schema, loads fixtures, creates backup
        $this->databaseHelper->loadFixtures($fixtureAliases);
    }
}
```
