How do I set up Factory Boy for my Django project?

To set up Factory Boy, first install it using pip: pip install factory_boy. Then, add it to your Django app.

What do I need to configure after installation?

You need to create a factory class for your models. For example, if you have a User model, create a UserFactory.

Can you show me an example of a UserFactory?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import factory
from myapp.models import User

class UserFactory(factory.django.DjangoModelFactory):
    class Meta:
        model = User

    username = factory.Faker('user_name')
    email = factory.Faker('email')

How do I use this factory to create a user?

You can create a user instance by calling UserFactory.create() or UserFactory() for a non-persistent instance.
