Ruby

A library for setting up Ruby objects as test data.

FactoryGirl::DefinitionProxy#sequence

Adds an attribute that will have unique values generated by a sequence with
a specified format.

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

Is equal to:
  sequence(:email) { |n| "person#{n}@example.com" }

  factory :user do
    email { FactoryGirl.generate(:email) }
  end

Except that no globally available sequence will be defined.
