FactoryHero

This gem is a poor man's attempt at replacing the fantastic FactoryGirl gem done by thoughtbot.

It is more of a proof of concept (or rather an exercise in coding) instead of a fully fledged working solution.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'factory_hero'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install factory_hero

Defining factories:

FactoryHero.define_factory(User) do
  name "foobar"
end

FactoryHero.define_factory(:admin, class: User) do
  name "fobar"
  admin true
end

Building factory objects:

FactoryHero.build(:user)
# => #<User:0x007fb98492834 @name="foobar">

FactoryHero.build(:admin)
# => #<User:0x007fb98492834 @name="foobar" @admin=true>

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
