Build Status

This is the repo for the downloadable version of generatedata.com. The script is basically an engine to generate any sort of random data in any format. It currently comes with 30 or so Data Types (types of data it generates), plus 8 Export Types (formats for the data), but it can be extended in any way you want. Check out the developer documentation for that. If you need to generate random data programmatically rather than manually via the UI, you can use the REST API.

Generally the trunk is pretty stable, but it's not guaranteed. If you're downloading the script, get the most recent tag: https://github.com/benkeen/generatedata/releases

Requirements

  • PHP 5.3 or any later version of PHP 5.
  • MySQL 4.1.3 or later

How to Install / Documentation

For installation instructions, user and developer documentation, check out: http://benkeen.github.io/generatedata/

Installation is really, really simple. I deliberately wrote the script to be as self-contained as possible and not require additional PHP/Server configuration when setting it up. That said, it does require PHP 5.3.0 or later. See the documentation for more info.

Pre-packaged solutions

Docker

Vagrant

There's also a pre-packaged Vagrant solution found here, courtesy of Daragh Courtney.

Test Coverage

Test coverage is pretty weak right now! I'm in the midst of adding phpunit tests and integrating it with Travis, but it's going to be a little hairy for a while just yet.

To-Do

Please see the issues tagges as feature requests for a list of things that are still left to complete on this project. Help is always welcome!
