faker_with_factorybot

🏭 Integrating Faker into FactoryBot Definitions​

FactoryBot pairs seamlessly with Faker for generating realistic test records. Use lazy attributes (blocks) to ensure each build or create call is fresh, and combine unique where necessary. Transient attributes allow you to parametrize your factories further.

FactoryBot.define do
  factory :user do
    name  { Faker::Name.name }
    email { Faker::Internet.unique.email }
    bio   { Faker::Lorem.sentence(word_count: 10) }
  end
end

# Usage in your specs:
user1 = create(:user)
user2 = create(:user)
# Both users will have different emails, names, and bios.
