Named Blueprints with factory_girl

Question

I am using Factory Girl but like the machinist syntax. So I wonder, if there is any way creating a named blueprint for class, so that I can have something like that:

User.blueprint(:no_discount_user) do
  admin           false
  hashed_password "226bc1eca359a09f5f1b96e26efeb4bb1aeae383"
  is_trader       false
  name            "foolish"
  salt            "21746899800.223524289203464"
end

User.blueprint(:discount_user) do
  admin           false
  hashed_password "226bc1eca359a09f5f1b96e26efeb4bb1aeae383"
  is_trader       true
  name            "deadbeef"
  salt            "21746899800.223524289203464"
  discount_rate { DiscountRate.make(:rate => 20.00) }
end

DiscountRate.blueprint do
  rate {10}
  not_before ...
  not_after ...
end

Is there a way making factory_girl with machinist syntax acting like that? I did not find one. Help appreciated.

Thx in advance Jason

Yes you can. require blueprint syntaxe

  require 'factory_girl/syntax/blueprint'
  Sham.email {|n| "#{n}@example.com" }

  User.blueprint do
    name  { 'Billy Bob' }
    email { Sham.email }
  end

  User.make(:name => 'Johnny')
