## Overview

In Laravel, you may need to create a user without using a registration form, especially if you are writing tests in your application.

## How to create a single user

If we go to the user seeder, we will find this line:

`\App\Models\User::factory(10)->create();`

This line invokes the `User::factory` and creates 10 users with fictitious information when we run the database seeders.

However, if we need to create one user and perhaps pass information that we do not want to be false (i.e., the email), we can execute the `User::factory` line directly from the Tinker console and create the user, as shown below:
```
User::factory()->create(['email' => 'test-2@mail.com'])
```

## How to create multiple users
You can also provide the count of how many users you want to create with specific credentials. The syntax below works for Laravel 8 and onwards.

```
User::factory()->count(10)->create(['email' => 'test-2@mail.com'])
```

How to create a user from the Tinker console

Create users directly using Laravel's Tinker console with specific credentials using User::factory()->create() for single or multiple users.
