Generate 3-letter strings with FactoryGirl/Faker

I would like to generate random, unique strings matching this pattern: [A-Z]{3}. How can I achieve this with FactoryGirl or Faker?

I thought about FactoryGirl's sequences, but can't make it work.

There is option:

Faker::Name.initials(3)

I've ended up with:

sequence(:code) { ('A'..'Z').to_a.sample(3).join }

Try this:

FactoryGirl.define do
  sequence :str do |n|
    (0..2).map { (65 + rand(26)).chr }.join
  end
end

FactoryGirl.generate :str # => "GUW"
