TYPO3 extensions to generate new random data or replace existing data with random data

This extensions uses  and was inspired by . Thanks go out to the builders, contributors and maintainers of those projects.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- TYPO3 CMS 9.5, 10.4 or 11.5
- PHP 7.2+
- Licence: GPL 3.0

Manual
------

[](#manual)

After installing randomdata in TYPO3 you can run it using the following command:

```
vendor/bin/typo3 randomdata:generate configuration.yaml

```

For more information about the command line options, use the following command:

```
vendor/bin/typo3 help randomdata:generate

```

The location of the configuration yaml file needs to be inside the site root.

For each record type you want to add to a PID you have to add configuration to the yaml file. The configuration for a single record type in a single pid looks like this:

```
recordTypeName:
  table: recordTable
  pid: recordPid
  action: action
  count: numberOfRecordsToCreate
  fields:
    field1:
      provider: Provider
```

- **recordTypeName** is just a label. It can be anything you want. For example `news`
- **table** is the database table for the record. This table has to be known in TCA. For example `tx_news_domain_model_news`
- **pid** is the UID of the page for the record. For example `4`
- **action** is the action to perform. By default only 2 actions are possible: `insert` to create new records and `replace` to replace all existing records of this type for that pid. It is also possible to create custom actions.
- **count** is the number of records to create. This is only needed for the action `insert`. For example `10`
- **fields** contains the configuration for the fields of the records.
- **field1** is the name of a field of the record. For example `title`
- **provider** is the name of the Provider to use when generating the random data. For example `Words`.

A lot of Providers also require additional configuration. These can be placed on the same level as the Provider.

Custom Provider
---------------

[](#custom-provider)

You can create a custom provider from your own extension by adding a class which implements `\WIND\Randomdata\Provider\ProviderInterface`. It should have at least a static `generate` method.

You can set your custom provider in the configuration yaml file by setting the full class name in the `provider` option. For example `provider: \My\Custom\Provider`

Custom action
-------------

[](#custom-action)

If you need anything other than `insert` or `replace` as action, you can use the `generateItemCustomAction` signal slot. You also need to set your action in the `$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['randomdata']['allowedActions']` array.
