Fixturist fixes the major caveat of fixture based backend testing: your fixture records might have foreign-key constraints. This can prevent the insertion of your fixture records and you have to keep track of the order of relationships during the insertion.
This library is smart algorithm that checks if your records have relationships, fetches the required relationships from your development database and runs a nifty algorithm to order the insertion of fetched records. All happens with the minimal/optimized SQL under the hood.
Fixturist only loads on test mix environments
If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:
- Add

```elixir

[applications: [:fixturist]]
end
```
