Wow CJ. Thank you so much for this series! Rails doesn't get enough love and your content is truly a pillar for me. Thank you!

[@dhrusoni1]

Clear understanding on the factory bot. Thank you
Can you create how the traits, associations work with it with the next episode. Waiting for the next demo.

[@cjav_dev]

I definitely want to dive deeper in factory bot. It’ll be at least a few weeks before I get to this tho!

Your videos are amazing, but something that I'm really jealous of is your control of Vim...

[@haroldpepete]

can you do a video about has_and_belongs_to_many
in factorybot?

[@CHACHANUS]

Excellent video ... A question.. how can I create a hash with factory...with traits to add additional attributes to principal factory hash..is that possible?

[@cjav_dev]

Thanks Pierre! I believe the factories with factory bot only return instances of those underlying models. I would likely create a custom HashFactory class that doesn't use factory bot, but instead exposes a class method `create` that allows you to pass in your own override properties. Perhaps even a making HashFactory the parent of some other sub classes like CarHashFactory < HashFactory or similar.

@@cjav_dev ah ok.. thanks a lot...

How do you handle a situation where you have a model with a very deep belongs_to association tree. In my case, the tree is 12 level deep and if I dont provide the belongs_to associated model in the factory, I get the ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: XXXX must exist.
