# FactoryGirlElixir

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sinetris/factory_girl_elixir.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sinetris/factory_girl_elixir)

Minimal implementation of Ruby's [factory_girl](http://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl) in Elixir.

This is a rewrite of the [factory_boy](https://github.com/inkr/factory_boy) project to make it work on Elixir v1.0.x.

## Usage

Add FactoryGirlElixir as a dependency in your `mix.exs` file.

```elixir
defp deps do
[
{:factory_girl_elixir, "~> 0.1.1"}
]
end
```

You should also update your applications list to include both projects:

```elixir
def application do
[applications: [:factory_girl_elixir]]
end
```

After you are done, run `mix deps.get` in your shell to fetch the dependencies.

## Defining a Factory

```elixir
defmodule Factory do
use FactoryGirlElixir.Factory

factory :user do
field :password, "secret"
# create a sequence using an anonymous functions
field :username, fn(n) ->
"username#{n}"
end
# or an anonymous functions shortcut
field :email, &("foo#{&1}@example.com")
end

factory :assets do
field :name, "bob"
end
end
```

Then query the module to get a list of attributes for your record

```elixir
user = Factory.attributes_for(:user) #=> %{password: "secret", username: "username1", email: "[email protected]"}
parametrized_user = user |> Factory.parametrize
#=> %{"email" => "[email protected]", "password" => "secret", "username" => "username1"}
```

You can override attributes

```elixir
user = Factory.attributes_for(:user, email: "[email protected]")
#=> %{password: "secret", username: "username1", email: "[email protected]"}
```
