Convenience

• Add the following to spec/spec_helper.rb for easier calling of FactoryGirl methods

RSpec.configure do |config|
  # For Factory Girl
  config.include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Methods
end

Using without models

• FactoryGirl creates doubles based on ActiveRecords
• If you don't have model, you can fake one:

#spec/support/models/deal.rb
class  Deal
   attr_accessor  :title, :remainingQuantity, :price_amount
end

• Another way is to define the non-ORM model class and through use of skip_create

Factories for subclasses

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :user do
    sequence(:email) { |n| "user#{n}@example.com" }
    password "123123"
    confirmed_at Date.today

    factory :buyer, class: Buyer do
      first_name "Jay"
      last_name "Chou"
      address "Taiwan"
      mobile "89933-3333"
      telephone "2887-22232"
    end
  end
end
