Nice article. One counter point though, OP uses Elm-bridge to generate Elm types from Haskell. I'd advise not to. Elm-bridge is not maintained anymore, lacks documentation and some useful feature (no phantom types for example). https://github.com/Holmusk/elm-street is probably a more viable solution though I've never tried it!

Kind of :-) The idea behind PatchGirl is to allow developers to combine REST and SQL requests to populate your database to a desired state. The goal is to make "database seeding" and "API testing" reproducible and ease manual testing :-)

All PatchGirl's features are enabled by running a little proxy (called patchgirl-runner) on your computer which you can find here https://github.com/patchgirl/patchgirl/releases/tag/v3.0.0

Feedbacks are much appreciated!!

Author here!

Never realized that was why factory-girl changed its name... That's interesting thank you!

PatchGirl was initially only a rest client so it was just a stupid pun (because of postman). But it stick and now I like the name :-P
