```ruby
class JsonStrategy
  def initialize
    @strategy = FactoryBot.strategy_by_name(:create).new
  end

  delegate :association, to: :@strategy

```ruby
# lib/tasks/factory_bot.rake
namespace :factory_bot do
  desc "Verify that all FactoryBot factories are valid"
  task lint: :environment do
    if Rails.env.test?
      conn = ActiveRecord::Base.connection
      conn.transaction do
        FactoryBot.lint
        raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
      end
    else
      system("bundle exec rake factory_bot:lint RAILS_ENV='test'")

FactoryBot.lint

factories_to_lint = FactoryBot.factories.reject do |factory|
  factory.name =~ /^old_/
end

FactoryBot.lint factories_to_lint

FactoryBot.lint traits: true

FactoryBot.lint factories_to_lint, traits: true

FactoryBot.lint strategy: :build

FactoryBot.lint verbose: true

```

### Define Factories Inline

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/file/GETTING_STARTED

This Ruby code illustrates how to define factories directly within your code using Factory Bot's `define` block. It includes an example of a 'user' factory with attributes.

```ruby
require 'factory_bot'

FactoryBot.define do
  factory :user do
    name { 'John Doe' }
    date_of_birth { 21.years.ago }
  end
end
```

factory :user do
  sequence(:email, 1000) { |n| "person#{n}@example.com" }
end

```

--------------------------------

```ruby
require 'factory_bot'
```

--------------------------------

### Define Single Callback

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/file/GETTING_STARTED

Factory Bot allows defining callbacks that execute at specific points during the factory lifecycle (build, create, stub). This example shows an `after(:build)` callback.

```ruby
# Define a factory that calls the generate_hashed_password method after it is built
factory :user do
  after(:build) { |user| generate_hashed_password(user) }
end

```

--------------------------------

### Get FactoryBot Callback Names

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/FactoryBot/Configuration

end
```

--------------------------------

### RSpec Configuration for Factory Bot

```ruby
RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include FactoryBot::Syntax::Methods
end
```

--------------------------------

### Monitor Factory Execution Time with ActiveSupport::Notifications

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/file/GETTING_STARTED

Provides an example of using `ActiveSupport::Notifications` to track the execution time of Factory Bot factories. It subscribes to the 'factory_bot.run_factory' event and logs factories that exceed a 0.5-second execution threshold.

```Ruby
ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe("factory_bot.run_factory") do |name, start, finish, id, payload|
  execution_time_in_seconds = finish - start

  if execution_time_in_seconds >= 0.5
    $stderr.puts "Slow factory: #{payload[:name]} using strategy #{payload[:strategy]}"
  end
end
```

--------------------------------

### Factory Bot Build Strategies

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/file/GETTING_STARTED

Explains and demonstrates the different build strategies provided by Factory Bot: `build`, `create`, `attributes_for`, and `build_stubbed`. Also shows how to pass blocks to these methods for further customization.

```ruby
# Returns a User instance that's not saved
user = build(:user)

# Returns a saved User instance
user = create(:user)

# Returns a hash of attributes that can be used to build a User instance
attrs = attributes_for(:user)

# Integrates with Ruby 3.0's support for pattern matching assignment
attributes_for(:user) => {email:, name:, **attrs}

# Returns an object with all defined attributes stubbed out
stub = build_stubbed(:user)

# Passing a block to any of the methods above will yield the return object
create(:user) do |user|
  user.posts.create(attributes_for(:post))
end
```

--------------------------------

### FactoryBot: Build single factory

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/FactoryBot/Syntax/Methods

build(:completed_order)

create(:post) do |post|
  create(:comment, post: post)
end

attributes_for(:post, title: "I love Ruby!")

build_stubbed(:user, :admin, :male, name: "John Doe")
```

--------------------------------

### Override Factory Persistence with to_create

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/file/GETTING_STARTED

Shows how to customize the persistence method for Factory Bot objects. The `to_create` method can be defined on a factory to specify how an instance should be persisted, for example, using `instance.persist!`. It also covers disabling persistence entirely with `skip_create` and setting a global `to_create` within a `FactoryBot.define` block.

```Ruby
factory :different_orm_model do
  to_create { |instance| instance.persist! }
end
```

```Ruby
factory :user_without_database do
  skip_create
end
```

```Ruby
FactoryBot.define do
  to_create { |instance| instance.persist! }


  factory :user do
    name { "John Doe" }
  end
end
```

--------------------------------

end
```

--------------------------------

### Manage Attribute Precedence with Factory Bot Traits

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/file/GETTING_STARTED

Illustrates how Factory Bot handles attribute precedence when traits define the same attributes. The latest defined attribute takes precedence, as shown in the 'active_admin' and 'inactive_admin' examples.

```ruby
factory :user do
  name { "Friendly User" }
  login { name }

  trait :active do
    name { "John Doe" }
    status { :active }
    login { "#{name} (active)" }
  end

  trait :inactive do
    name { "Jane Doe" }
    status { :inactive }
    login { "#{name} (inactive)" }
  end

  trait :admin do
    admin { true }
    login { "admin-#{name}" }
  end

  factory :active_admin,   traits: [:active, :admin]   # login will be "admin-John Doe"
  factory :inactive_admin, traits: [:admin, :inactive] # login will be "Jane Doe (inactive)"
end
```

--------------------------------

### Get URI Manager

```

--------------------------------

### Build or Create Multiple Records with FactoryBot

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/file/GETTING_STARTED

Illustrates how to build or create multiple instances of a factory at once using `build_list` and `create_list`. You can also specify attributes for all records or use a block to set attributes individually.

```ruby
built_users   = build_list(:user, 25)
created_users = create_list(:user, 25)

twenty_year_olds = build_list(:user, 25, date_of_birth: 20.years.ago)

twenty_somethings = build_list(:user, 10) do |user, i|
  user.date_of_birth = (20 + i).years.ago
end

twenty_somethings = create_list(:user, 10) do |user, i|
  user.date_of_birth = (20 + i).years.ago
  user.save!
end

```

--------------------------------

### Get the next value from EnumeratorAdapter

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/FactoryBot/Sequence/EnumeratorAdapter

Advances the EnumeratorAdapter to its next value. This is a private API method.

```Ruby
def next
  @value = value.next
end
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize FactoryBot::Sequence

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/FactoryBot/Sequence%3Ainitialize

Initializes a new FactoryBot::Sequence object. It accepts a name, optional arguments (including options like :aliases and :uri_paths), and a block. It sets up internal attributes like name, proc, aliases, and a UriManager, and initializes the sequence value.

```Ruby
def initialize(name, *args, &proc)
  options = args.extract_options!
  @name = name
  @proc = proc
  @aliases = options.fetch(:aliases, []).map(&:to_sym)
  @uri_manager = FactoryBot::UriManager.new(names, paths: options[:uri_paths])
  @value = args.first || 1

  unless @value.respond_to?(:peek)
    @value = EnumeratorAdapter.new(@value)
  end
end
```

--------------------------------

### Define Factory Bot Factories with Associations

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/file/GETTING_STARTED

Shows a Factory Bot definition for a 'Location' model with an association to 'LocationGroup'. This example is used to illustrate potential `ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch` errors when using Rails preloaders with Factory Bot.

```Ruby
FactoryBot.define do
  factory :united_states, class: "Location" do
    name { 'United States' }
    association :location_group, factory: :north_america
  end

  factory :north_america, class: "LocationGroup" do
    name { 'North America' }
  end
end
```

--------------------------------

### Get FactoryBot::Attribute Name

Source: https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/factory_bot/FactoryBot/Attribute

Returns the name of the attribute. This is a private readonly instance attribute accessor.

```Ruby
def name
  @name
end
```
