Is there a way to test an accessor method in laravel

I gave a getFooAttribute method that returns a value depending on the format of some field.

public function getFooAttribute() 
{
    $re = 'some regex /';
    if(preg_match($re, $this->bar) === 1){
        return 'normal'. $this->bar;
    }
    return 'not normal'. $this->bar;
}

Now I would like to write tests for when a field is a certain value. How can I do this?

phpunit php laravel

You can write a test case like this:

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

public function test_foo_attribute()
{
    $model = YourModel::factory()->make();

    $model->bar = 'should be normal';
    $this->assertTrue(Str::startsWith($model->bar, 'normal'));

    $model->bar = 'should be not normal';
    $this->assertTrue(Str::startsWith($model->bar, 'not normal'));
}
