How do I use factories from FactoryBot in rails console

Question

I do this the following way:

Start the rails console in test environment in sandbox mode.
```
rails console -e test --sandbox
```

You need this for two reasons:

Any changes you do are rolled back.
If you already have some seed data it might happen that the factories will start the serialization of attributes from 1, but these records might already exist.

Then in the console:

Require FactoryBot (was called FactoryGirl):
```
require 'factory_bot'
```
Load the factory definitions:
```
FactoryBot.find_definitions
```
Include the FactoryBot methods to avoid prefixing all calls to FB with FactoryBot (create instead of FactoryBot.create):
```
include FactoryBot::Syntax::Methods
```

P.S. For fabrication gem you can load the definitions in the rails console with:

Fabrication.manager.load_definitions

Also require 'faker' if you use it.
