Factory doesn't return a db object

[adrijere]

Hi 👋
First of all, thank you very much for your work. After your answer, we decided to use your lib on our on production application and it saved us a lot of time!

Describe the bug
As mentioned in the documentation, I create a UserProfile which has a relation with the table User. When I use the factory to create a UserProfile, the return object is not similar to one from the DB so I can't call my relation like userProfile.user.

To Reproduce
Create a relation like this:

export const UserProfileFactory = defineUserProfileFactory({
  defaultData: () => ({
    id: chance.guid(), // chance is a lib similar to faker
    firstName: chance.first(),
    user: UserFactory,
  }),
});

In my test, I do : const recipientProfile = await UserProfileFactory.create();.
My recipientProfile doesn't have a user property but a userId which means if I want to do recipientProfile.user I can't and I have to do a prisma call to get my User db object.

Expected behavior
My factory returns a DB object and so I can easily use my relation through my new created object.

Your Schema

model User {
  id                  String              @id @default(dbgenerated("uuid_generate_v4()")) @db.Uuid
  createdAt           DateTime            @default(now())
  updatedAt           DateTime            @default(now()) @updatedAt
  email               String              @unique
  userProfiles        UserProfile[]
  }

model UserProfile {
  id                  String       @id @default(dbgenerated("uuid_generate_v4()")) @db.Uuid
  createdAt           DateTime     @default(now())
  updatedAt           DateTime     @default(now()) @updatedAt
  userId              String       @db.Uuid
  user                User         @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
  firstName           String?
}

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Database kind: PostgreSQL
• Node.js version: 18.14.6
• @prisma/client version: 4.13.0
• TypeScript version: 5.0.4

Thanks again for your hard work!

Echoing the appreciation expressed by @adrijere! This is a very useful extension for Prisma, and the former FactorbyBot user in me feels right at home!

I recently deployed Fabbrica in my codebase, and a co-worker was wanting the same feature described here. I don't have time to submit a PR, but wanted to add my voice the group of folks requesting the feature.

Thanks again for this wonderful library!
