# Minifacture

[factory_girl][1] for [minitest][2].

[1]: https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl
[2]: https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest

``` ruby
Factory.define :user do |f|
f.name 'John Doe' # String.
f.login 'john%d' # Sequence.
f.email '%{login}@example.com' # Interpolate.
f.password f.password_confirmation('foobar') # Chain.
f.active { [true,false].sample } # Block.
f.status { |f| f.active ? "On" : "Off" } # Block with object parameter.
end

Factory.define :post do |f|
f.user { Factory :user } # Association.
end
```

## Install

``` ruby
# Gemfile
group :test do
gem 'minifacture'
end
```

``` sh
$ bundle
```

``` ruby
# test/test_helper.rb
require 'factories' # If you define your factories in test/factories.rb
```

## Use

To get a `User` instance that's not saved:

``` ruby
u = Factory.build :user
```

To get a `User` instance that's saved:

``` ruby
u = Factory.create :user
```

Shorthand for create:

``` ruby
u = Factory :user
```

### Methods

Methods can customize a factory's object as it is being built.

Take a simple class:

``` ruby
class User
attr_accessor :name
attr_accessor :email
end
```

And a simple factory:

``` ruby
Factory.define :user do
end
```

Use:

``` ruby
u = Factory :user, name: 'Alice', email: 'alice@example.com'
u.name # => "Alice"
u.email # => "alice@example.com"
```

This initializes the object, then calls the object's `name=` method and
`email=` method.

### Blocks

Blocks can use any Ruby code:

``` ruby
Factory.define :user do |f|
f.name { %w[Alice Bob Carol].sample }
f.email { "#{%w[alice bob carol].sample}@example.com" }
end
```

Use:

``` ruby
u = Factory :user
u.name # => "Bob"
u.email # => "carol@example.com"
```

Blocks can use a parameter to access the object as it is being built:

``` ruby
Factory.define :user do |f|
f.name { %w[Alice Bob Carol].choice }
f.email { |u| "#{u.name.downcase}@example.com" }
end
```

Use:

``` ruby
u = Factory :user
u.name # => "Bob"
u.email # => "bob@example.com"
```

### Methods + Blocks

When you use methods and blocks together, the methods are called, then the
blocks:

``` ruby
user = Factory :user, name: 'Eve'
user.name # => "Eve"
user.email # => "eve@example.com"
```

This initializes the object, then calls the object's `name=` method, then
processes the factory attribute `email` which calls the block.

### Namespacing

If your model is namespaced, or does not correspond directly with the symbol,
you can explicitly declare which class to use:

```ruby
Factory.define :post, class: BlogEngine::Post do
# ...
end
```

### Parent

A factory can use a parent factory:

```ruby
Factory.define :user, do |f|
f.name "Alice"
end

Factory.define :admin, :parent => :user do |f|
f.role "Administrator"
end
```

When you use the factory, the result combines the parent factory settings:

```ruby
Factory :admin
=> User with name="Alice" and role="Administrator"
```

The factory can overwrite the parent attributes:

```ruby
Factory.define :user, do |f|
f.name "Alice"
f.role "Guest"
end

Factory.define :admin, :parent => :user do |f|
f.role "Administrator" # Replaces the parent factory role
end
```
