My search for "laravel model factory" returned me this documentation
https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/eloquent-factories
which has pretty much everything I know about factories.https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/eloquent-factories

Have you tried searching for information on this? My search for:
HasFactory laravel
turns up:
php - Laravel what is use HasFactory? - Stack Overflow
as the first result, along with a raft of other - seemingly related
- items.
I don't use laravel, but if you don't want to go through the
documentation - as others have recommended - searching for things
would seem to be the next option/approach.
Also, laravel really has nothing to do with PHP, except that they
used PHP to write the framework [it could be written in PERL for all
that matters]. So an application-specific question is at best tangent
to a PHP-specific list. Finding a laravel-specific list/forum to ask
your questions will likely get you more targeted responses.
Regardless, you still need to show that you're putting in the work to
understand your problems/issues.
