user = mixer.blend(User)

# Generate UserMessage
message = mixer.blend(UserMessage, user=user)

# Generate UserMessage and User. Set User.username to 'testname'.
message = mixer.blend(UserMessage, user__username='testname')

# Generate SomeModel from SomeApp and select FK or M2M values from db
some = mixer.blend('someapp.somemodel', somerelation=mixer.select)

# Generate SomeModel from SomeApp and force a value of field with default to random
some = mixer.blend('someapp.somemodel', money=mixer.random)

# Generate 5 SomeModel instances and get a field values from custom generator
some_models = mixer.cycle(5).blend('someapp.somemodel', company=(company for company in companies))

Flask, Flask-SQLAlchemy

Quick example:

from mixer.backend.flask import mixer
from models import User, UserMessage

mixer.init_app(self.app)

# Generate random User
user = mixer.blend(User)

# Generate UserMessage
message = mixer.blend(UserMessage, user=user)

# Generate UserMessage and User. Set User.username to 'testname'.
message = mixer.blend(UserMessage, user__username='testname')

# Generate SomeModel and select FK or M2M values from db
some = mixer.blend('project.models.SomeModel', somerelation=mixer.select)

# Generate SomeModel from SomeApp and force a value of field with default to random
some = mixer.blend('project.models.SomeModel', money=mixer.random)

# Generate 5 SomeModel instances and get a field values from custom generator
some_models = mixer.cycle(5).blend('project.models.SomeModel', company=(company for company in companies))

SQLAlchemy

Example of initialization:

from mixer.backend.sqlalchemy import Mixer

ENGINE = create_engine('sqlite:///:memory:')
BASE = declarative_base()
SESSION = sessionmaker(bind=ENGINE)

mixer = Mixer(session=SESSION(), commit=True)
role = mixer.blend('package.models.Role')
