How do I use Factory Boy in my Django project?

Factory Boy is a flexible and easy-to-use library for creating test data in Django. You can start by installing it using pip.

What is the basic setup for Factory Boy?

First, install Factory Boy with pip install factory_boy. Then, create a factory class for your models.

Can you show me an example of a factory class?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import factory
from myapp.models import MyModel

class MyModelFactory(factory.django.DjangoModelFactory):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel

    name = factory.Faker('name')
    age = factory.Faker('random_int', min=18, max=90)

How do I use this factory to create instances?

You can create instances by calling the factory's create method:

my_instance = MyModelFactory.create()
