Factory Bro

Getting Started (from a Ruby console):

Connect To Database:

FactoryBro.connect('identifier', 'dbName') or FactoryBro.connect('identifier', 'postgres://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DBNAME')

Create Base Factories

FactoryBro.create_bases('identifier')

Close Connection

FactoryBro.close('identifier')

In Practice:

create_bases produces all the potential factories your test suite will need with a guestimated corresponding Faker method for each column.
You can call it later if you add more tables.
Editing is required after you generate these samples.
You must require the factories created in your test helper similar to something like this:

def require_glob(glob)
  Dir[glob].sort.each { |f| require f }
end

File.expand_path(__dir__).tap do |base|
  require_glob File.join(base, 'factories', '*.rb')
  # page objects, contexts, helpers, etc
end

In your tests then call the factory: Factory::Table.factory_method (be sure to include any needed metadata in your factories)

Sample generated (post edit factory)

module Factory
  class States
    def self.base
      FactoryBro.generate_data('identifier', states' , {
        "factoryData": {
          "id": id = Faker::Lorem.characters(32),
          "name": name = Faker::Address.state,
          "code": Faker::Address.state_abbr,
          "active": Faker::Boolean.boolean,
          "country_id": Faker::Lorem.characters(32),
          "created_at": Faker::Time.between(DateTime.now - 1, DateTime.now),
          "updated_at": Faker::Time.between(DateTime.now - 1, DateTime.now)
        },
        "meta": { "id": id,
          "name": name
        }
      })
    end
  end
end

calling would be: Factory::States.base
