class RequestFactory: (source)

Known subclasses: django.test.client.AsyncRequestFactory, django.test.client.Client

View In Hierarchy

Class that lets you create mock Request objects for use in testing. Usage: rf = RequestFactory() get_request = rf.get('/hello/') post_request = rf.post('/submit/', {'foo': 'bar'}) Once you have a request object you can pass it to any view function, just as if that view had been hooked up using a URLconf.
