User Guide

###Factory file __dirname/test/factory/test_factory.js

var factory, test_factory1, Factory, mongoose;

mongoose = require('mongoose');
Factory = require('mangosta');
model = mongoose.model("factory");//get model, which was previously created
test_factory1 = require(__dirname/test/factory/test_factory.js);

factory = new Factory(model, function() {
  return {
    key: value,
    $child: { // child factory -> isnt going to be in the doc
      // define child factory as an object or a function
      // define child as function if it is important that the child is build on every build/create operation 
      //   -> for example another factory
      child_name: function() {
        return {
          key: value
        };
      },
      child_name: {
        key: value
        $child: {
          child_name: function() {
            //example of another factory in a factory -> call this as a regular child no changes needed
            var $docs;
            test_factory1.build({}, function(err, doc){
              $docs = doc;
            });
            return {
              firstName: $docs.test
            };
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

module.exports = factory;

###Test file __dirname/test/index.js

factory = require("./factories/test_factory.js");

//build and create accept the same parameters
factory.create(obj, callback)
factory.build(obj, callback)

// if single document return object else Array Object
// create return same param as model.create
callback = function(err, docs) {}

obj =
  {
    $seq: Int,
    // reset seq to given num
    $factory: String,
    // if factory isnt defined use the default factory 
    $docs:[ 
    //or $doc but then without the squared brackets
    //you can skip every key -> you can parse a empty object
      {
        // if the factory isnt defined use the factory of the parent
        $factory: String,
        //define how many of these object should be created
        $num: Int,
        // you can modify the values of the factory
        key: value
      }
      //add objects here to create multi num document with different factory 
      //or/and value for key of main factory
    ]
  };;

// if you wish you can access the model directly by factory.model

// string methods
// just include them in the value
// please visit the strgMethods module to see what you can do
// https://github.com/doodzik/strg_methods
