Pydantic-Factories
This library offers powerful mock data generation capabilities for pydantic
based models and dataclasses. It can also be used with other libraries that use pydantic as a foundation.
Example
from datetime import date, datetime
from typing import List, Union
from pydantic import BaseModel, UUID4
from pydantic_factories import ModelFactory
class Person(BaseModel):
id: UUID4
name: str
hobbies: List[str]
age: Union[float, int]
birthday: Union[datetime, date]
class PersonFactory(ModelFactory):
__model__ = Person
result = PersonFactory.build()
That's it - with almost no work, we are able to create a mock data object fitting the Person class model definition.
This is possible because of the typing information available on the pydantic model and model-fields, which are used as a source of truth for data generation.
The factory parses the information stored in the pydantic model and generates a dictionary of kwargs that are passed to
the Person class' init method.
