Faker for RBSChange 4
=====================

[](#faker-for-rbschange-4)

Have a [RBSChange 4](https://github.com/RBSChange/Change) project and need to fill your database for tests?

This module provides a command to load random data for any documents like media, products or orders for instance. It integrates [Faker](https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker), a PHP library that generates fake data.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add the requirement to your `composer.json` file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "heri/faker": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

Then, install the module in the modules manager.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

How it's works?

Specify entities to load, and the number of documents you want to create, in your configuration file `project.json`:

```
{
    "Heri":{
        "Faker":{
            "entities":{
                "Rbs_Media_Image":{
                    "number": 5
                },
                "Rbs_Brand_Brand":{
                    "number": 5
                },
                "Rbs_Stock_Sku":{
                    "number": 5
                },
                "Rbs_Catalog_Product":{
                    "number": 5
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
```

Lastly, run this command:

```
    php bin/change.phar faker:populate
```

In the previous example, the `Image` and `Brand` models share a relationship. If `Image` documents are populated first, Faker is smart enough to relate the populated Brand documents to one of the populated `Image` documents.

ProTips Configuration
---------------------

[](#protips-configuration)

You can add your own formatter for each column of each entity, with or without arguments:

```
{
    "Rbs_Media_Image":{
        "number": 10,
        "custom_formatters":{
            "path":{
                "method": "storeImage",
                "parameters":{
                    "width": "320",
                    "height": "240",
                    "category": "cats"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
```

With the example above, we choose to generate images of cats:

You can use all formatters provided by Faker:

```
{
    "Rbs_Stock_Sku":{
        "custom_formatters":{
            "ean13":{
                "method": "randomElement",
                "parameters":{
                    "values": [
                        "1234567891234",
                        "1234567891235",
                        "1234567891236"
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
```

You can also set `null` to a column value in order to get the default value generated by the orm:

```
{
    "Rbs_Brand_Brand":{
        "custom_formatters":{
            "title": null
        }
    }
}
```
