SeedFactory

A utility for producing entities using business logic defined by your application.

The main idea of SeedFactory is to produce entities in tests according to your application business logic (read as context functions if you use https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/contexts.html) whenever it is possible and avoid direct inserts to the database (opposed to ex_machina). This approach allows to minimize testing of invalid states as you're not forced to keep complex database structure in your head in order to prepare test data.

See docs for details https://hexdocs.pm/seed_factory.

Installation

The package can be installed by adding seed_factory to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:seed_factory, "~> 0.2"}
  ]
end
