Unable to create date-based sequences in recipes

[lightstrike]

I'd like to be able create a recipe sequence using a date-based increment along the lines of the following:

ending_time=seq(datetime.now(), increment_by=timedelta(days=1))

It looks like only strings and integers are supported right now: https://github.com/vandersonmota/model_mommy/blob/master/model_mommy/recipe.py#L79

I'd be happy to help implement this. Curious what your overall thoughts are and if there's an approach you'd like to see this solved with.

Hi @lightstrike Yes, only strings and integers are suported now. About the approach, i would like to keep it generator based, if possible. itertools.count requires a number, so the seq function will get a little bit more complicated.

Do you have something in mind?

How would you feel about adding an "increment_type" argument that would default to string/number but would increment based on time with other arguments. A couple examples:

ending_time=seq(datetime.now(), increment_by=1, increment_type="days") ending_time=seq(datetime.now(), increment_by=5, increment_type="minutes")

we could accept a timedelta as argument, so we don't add extra args to handle datetime fields.
