How can I use Factory Boy with Django and Flask?

You can use Factory Boy with both Django and Flask to create test data. In Django, you typically define your models and then create factories for them. For Flask, you can do something similar, but you'll need to set up your application context.

Can you give me an example of a Factory Boy setup for Django?

Sure! First, install Factory Boy using pip. Then, create a factory for your Django model like this:

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)

What about using it with Flask? Any differences?

In Flask, you would set up your factory similarly, but ensure you have the app context. Here's a quick example:

from factory import Factory
from myapp import create_app
from myapp.models import MyModel

app = create_app()

class MyModelFactory(Factory):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel

    name = 'John Doe'
    age = 30

with app.app_context():
    instance = MyModelFactory()
