+Custom manager methods
+----------------------
+
+Sometimes you need a factory to call a specific manager method other then the
+default :meth:`Model.objects.create() <django.db.models.query.QuerySet.create>` method:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ class UserFactory(factory.DjangoModelFactory):
+ FACTORY_FOR = UserenaSignup
+ username = "l7d8s"
+ email = "my_name@example.com"
+ password = "my_password"
+
+ @classmethod
+ def _create(cls, target_class, *args, **kwargs):
+ """Override the default ``_create`` with our custom call."""
+ manager = cls._get_manager(target_class)
+ # The default would use ``manager.create(*args, **kwargs)``
+ return manager.create_user(*args, **kwargs)
