Object Generator Bundle
=======================

[](#object-generator-bundle)

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

This bundle is for automatically generating objects using [PHPFaker](https://fakerphp.org/). It uses the object's parameter types and names to recursively generate *real looking* data. This bundle is currently designed with DTOs in mind, but there's nothing stopping you from using it to generate any kind of PHP object - just don't expect it to work for every parameter type yet. The intended usage for now is as such:

```
// define your DTO
class MyDto {
    public ?int $id;
    public ?string $name;
    ...
}
```

```
// Inside a command, or whatever script you use to generate your data

use Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;
use Torq\ObjectGeneratorBundle\Service\FakeObjectFactory\FakeObjectFactory;

class GenerateDataCommand extends Command {

    // dependency inject the factory
    public function __construct(private FakeObjectFactory $fakeObjectFactory) {}

    public function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
    {
        // optionally define your config (see FakeObjectFactory::DEFAULT_CONFIG)
        $config = ['useConstructor' => false];

        // generate your dto
        $dto = $this->fakeObjectFactory->generateValue(MyDto::class, $config);

        // do whatever with the generated data, likely create a data object with it.
        $object = new DataObject();
        $object->setId($dto->id);
        $object->setName($dto->name);

        return self::SUCCESS;
    }
}
```

```
// You can override the automatic type checking by using #[GenerateAs]

use Torq\ObjectGeneratorBundle\Service\FakeObjectFactory\GenerateAs;
use Torq\ObjectGeneratorBundle\Service\DataGenerator\NameGenerator;

class AnotherDto {
    public ?int $id;

    // pass the class of the generator you want to use
    #[GenerateAs(NameGenerator::class)]
    public ?string $name;
}
```

Supported Types
---------------

[](#supported-types)

> Recursion isn't fully working yet. The workaround is to just set `maxRecursionDepth` to a large value depending on how many objects you're generating, e.g. like 300 or more.

> Arrays and array-like types are not yet supported generically.

Right now we really only have support for primitives and recursive objects. However, you can very easily define a new custom `DataGenerator` and have the factory use it with no config necessary. Simply have your class either extend AbstractDataGenerator OR implement DataGeneratorInterface and the container will automatically tag it for the factory:

```
use Torq\ObjectGeneratorBundle\Service\DataGenerator\AbstractDataGenerator;
use Torq\ObjectGeneratorBundle\Service\DataGenerator\DataGeneratorInterface;

// Recommend extending AbstractDataGenerator to get utilities
class MyEmojiGenerator extends AbstractDataGenerator implements DataGeneratorInterface {
    // $config is passed through from factory->generateValue, maps to faker fn arguments
    public function generateValue(string $type, ?string $name = null, array $config = [])
    {
        // getConfigParser convenience utility comes from AbstractDataGenerator
        $parser = $this->getConfigParser($config);
        return $this->faker->emoji(...$parser('emoji'));
    }

    // Used to finely filter out generators per parameter during generation
    public function supportsGeneration(string $type, ?string $name = null): bool
    {
        return $type === 'string';
    }

    // Used to broadly filter generators prior to generation
    public function getSupportedTypes(): array
    {
        // Expected types found here: https://www.php.net/manual/en/reflectionnamedtype.getname.php
        return ['string'];
    }

    // Used to pick which generator from those where supportsGeneration is true and getSupportedTypes matches
    public function getPriority(): int
    {
        // default is 0, use positive values to increase priority, negative to decrease
        return 0;
    }
}
```

If you end up defining any custom generators you think are generic/useful enough for every project, feel free to open a PR to this project to include them as part of the default generators.
