Requirements

This Django app generates factory_boy Model Factories from your installed apps, so you need to have factory_boy installed.

Installation

Install using pip :

pip install django_factory_generator

Add factory_generator to your INSTALLED_APPS settings.

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'factory_generator',
    ...
)

Generate factories

Generate factories with a single command line:

python manage.py generate_factories

This will create a model_factories directory with the following structure :

|__ model_factories/
    |__ app_label_foo/
        |__ __init__.py
        |__ model_foo.py
        |__ model_bar.py
        |__ base/
            |__ __init__.py
            |__ model_foo.py
            |__ model_bar.py

Each model results in two generated files :

• model_factories/app_label_foo/base/model_foo containing the ModelFooFactoryBase class definition generated from the model ModelFoo. This file should not be manually edited since it would be overriden each time the command generate_factories is run.

• model_factories/app_label_foo/model_foo containing the ModelFooFactory class which simply extends ModelFooFactoryBase. This file is generated once but not overriden when you run the generate_factories command again.

This structure gives you the ability to override the ModelFactory that was automatically generated. You can then edit the ModelFooFactory to change / edit the base fields that were generated.

You can then import your model factories the following way:

# app_label/tests.py
from django.test import TestCase

from model_factories.app_label import ModelFooFactory, ModelBarFactory

class FooTests(TestCase):

    def test_model_factory(self):
        modelfoo = ModelFooFactory(
            foo='bar',
        )
        modelbar = ModelBarFactory(
            bar='baz',
        )
        # Run your tests here

Settings

Here are all the settings you can use, with their default value :

FACTORY_NORMALIZE_FIELD_MAP = {}
FACTORY_FIELD_FAKER_MAP = {}
FACTORY_IGNORE_FIELDS = []
FACTORY_ROOT_DIR = 'model_factories'
FACTORY_IGNORE_NON_EDITABLE_FIELDS = True

Todo

• Improve documentation

• Write unit tests

• validate compatibility with previous versions of Django and Python
