Simple Django command that helps to organize your fixtures

django-fixtures-command

Simple Django command that helps to organize your fixtures.

Usage

Add fixtures.py files anywhere you want in your Django project. Put there the functions that handle fake data for development purposes. The function must have fill_ or flush_ prefix and must be defined in the fixtures.py file to be found by ./manage.py fixtures command.

Commands

Display all available fixtures along with their docstrings: ./manage.py fixtures --all

Fill the database with fake data: ./manage.py fixtures fill <fixture_name>

Flush data from the database: ./manage.py fixtures flush <fixture_name>

Example

It is convenient to use some tool to generate fake data for fixtures like the factory_boy library.

def fill_profiles():
    """Fill the database with fake user profiles."""
    inactive_profile = ProfileFactory.create(
      user__password=EXAMPLE_PASSWORD, user__is_active=False,
    )
    active_profile = ProfileFactory.create(user__password=EXAMPLE_PASSWORD, user__is_active=True)
    admin_profile = ProfileFactory.create(
      user__password=EXAMPLE_PASSWORD, user__is_superuser=True, user__is_staff=True,
    )
    print('Inactive profile:', inactive_profile.user.email, 'password:', EXAMPLE_PASSWORD)
    print('Active profile:', active_profile.user.email, 'password:', EXAMPLE_PASSWORD)
    print('Admin profile:', admin_profile.user.email, 'password:', EXAMPLE_PASSWORD)


def flush_profiles():
    """Remove all user profiles."""
    Profile.objects.all().delete()
