Update documentation to include new configuration

Added documentation for the definition_file_paths configuration.

Also restructured and expanded a bit and added
an example of the `filename_proc` option.

Generators for factories will automatically substitute fixture (and maybe any other
`fixture_replacement` you set). If you want to disable this feature, add the
following to your application.rb file:
You may want to configure your test suite to include factory\_bot methods; see
[configuration](https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_bot/blob/master/GETTING_STARTED.md#configure-your-test-suite).
### Automatic Factory Definition Loading
By default, factory\_bot\_rails will automatically load factories
defined in the following locations,
relative to the root of the Rails project:
```
factories.rb
test/factories.rb
spec/factories.rb
factories/*.rb
test/factories/*.rb
spec/factories/*.rb
```
You can configure by adding the following to "config/application.rb" or the
appropriate environment configuration in "config/environments":
```ruby
config.factory_bot.definition_file_paths = ["custom/factories"]
```
This will cause factory\_bot\_rails to automatically load factories in
`custom/factories.rb` and `custom/factories/*.rb`.
It is possible to use this setting to share factories from a gem:
```rb
class MyEngine < ::Rails::Engine
config.factory_bot.definition_file_paths =
File.expand_path('../factories, __FILE__) if defined?(FactoryBotRails)
end
```
You can also disable automatic factory definition loading entirely by
using an empty array:
```rb
config.factory_bot.definition_file_paths = []
```
### Generators
Including factory\_bot\_rails in the development group of your Gemfile,
will cause Rails to generate factories instead of fixtures.
If you want to disable this feature, you can either move factory\_bot\_rails out
of the development group of your Gemfile, or add the following configuration:
```ruby
config.generators do |g|
@ -47,8 +92,15 @@ config.generators do |g|

Default factories directory is `test/factories`, or `spec/factories` if
`test_framework` generator is set to `:rspec`; change this behavior with:
If fixture replacement is enabled and you already have a `test/factories.rb`
file (or `spec/factories.rb` if using rspec_rails), generated factories will be
inserted at the top of the existing file.
Otherwise, factories will be generated in the
`test/factories` directory (`spec/factories` if using rspec_rails),
in a file matching the name of the table (e.g. 'test/factories/users.rb').
To generate factories in a different directory, you can use the following
configuration:
```ruby
config.generators do |g|

If you use factory_bot for fixture replacement, ensure that
factory_bot_rails is available in the development group. If it's not, Rails
will generate standard .yml files instead of factory files.
Note that factory\_bot\_rails will not automatically load files in custom
locations unless you add them to `config.factory_bot.defintion_file_paths` as
well.
factory_bot takes an option `suffix: 'some_suffix'` to generate factories as
`modelname_some_suffix.rb`.
The suffix option allows you to customize the name of the generated file with a
suffix:
If you use factory_bot for fixture replacement and already have a
`factories.rb` file in the directory that contains your tests,
factory_bot_rails will insert new factory definitions at the top of
`factories.rb`.
```ruby
config.generators do |g|
g.factory_bot suffix: "factory"
end
```
You may need to configure your test suite to include factory_bot methods; see
[configuration](https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_bot/blob/master/GETTING_STARTED.md#configure-your-test-suite).
This will generate `test/factories/users_factory.rb` instead of
`test/factories/users.rb`.
For even more customization, use the `filename_proc` option:
```ruby
config.generators do |g|
g.factory_bot filename_proc: -> { |table_name| "prefix_#{table_name}_suffix" }
end
```
