Allow passing extra arguments

[pupeno]

Could you make it possible to allow to pass extra arguments to be used in the callbacks or in some other ways.

To be able to do something like this:

Factory.define :blog do |blog|
  blog.name "Blah"

  blog.after_create do |blog|
    blog.posts += sample_posts
    blog.save!
  end
end

and then create it with something like this:

Factory.create(:blog, :sample_posts => [post1, post2])

Thanks.

Thanks for the idea. However, I don't think I want to add arbitrary arguments for callbacks to factory_girl. Is there a reason you couldn't just use #posts in the above example?

[pupeno]

I'm sorry, what do you mean by #posts?

[jferris]

Can you do this instead?

Factory.create(:blog, :posts => [post1, post2])

[pupeno]

That should work, shouldn't it? I don't remember whether I tried or not. Sorry :(

it would be convenient to be able to specify parameters, which are not themselves attributes on the model, to generate attributes, and not have these set on the generated object.

nevermind, transient attributes does this perfectly! #141 #142 sorry for the bump
