factory_girl [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/thoughtbot/factory_girl_rails.png)](http://travis-ci.org/thoughtbot/factory_girl_rails?branch=master)
============
`factory_girl` is a fixtures replacement with a straightforward definition
syntax, support for multiple build strategies (saved instances, unsaved
instances, attribute hashes, and stubbed objects), and support for multiple
factories for the same class (`user`, `admin_user`, and so on), including factory
inheritance.
Rails
-----
`factory_girl_rails` provides Rails integration for `factory_girl`. All
Rails-specific features are only compatible with Rails 3.
Currently, automatic factory definition loading is the only Rails-specific feature.
Download
--------
Github: http://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl_rails/tree/master
Gem:
gem install factory_girl_rails
Configuration
-------------
Add `factory_girl_rails` to your Gemfile:
gem 'factory_girl_rails'
Optionally, to have rails generators automatically generate factories instead
of fixtures, add the following to your application.rb file:
config.generators do |g|
g.fixture_replacement :factory_girl
end
If you use `factory_girl` for fixture replacement, ensure that
`factory_girl_rails` is available in the development group. If it's not, Rails
will generate standard yml files instead of factory files.
`fixture_replacement :factory_girl` takes an option `:suffix => 'some_suffix'`
to generate factories as "modelname_some_suffix.rb"
