How to write test cases for databse related functions
The well known FactoryBot (FactoryGirl) from rails has a pretty good equivalent in Phoenix as ExMachina (https://github.com/thoughtbot/ex_machina) and does the job really well (thoughtbot is a pretty good and stable contributor too, so a nice Omakase plug-in!)
