Installation

Use Composer to manage the dependencies of your project. ####In your project folder run:

composer require fakerino/fakerino='~0.8'
vendor/fakerino/fakerino/build/ods vendor/fakerino/fakerino/data

Like a stand-alone project run:

composer create-project fakerino/fakerino fakerino

Quick start

<?php
require ('vendor/autoload.php'); 
use Fakerino\Fakerino;

$fakerino = Fakerino::create();
echo $fakerino->fake('Surname')->toJson(); //["Donovan"]
echo $fakerino->fake('nameFemale'); //Alice
echo $fakerino->fake('/www\.\w+\.com/'); //www.nikdjap.com
echo $fakerino->fake('nameMale')->num(3); //Bob Jack Rick
echo $fakerino->fake(array('nameMale', 'Surname'))->num(3)->toJson(); //[["Simon","Rodgers"],["Dean","Smith"],["Anthony","Bauman"]]

With a configuration you can combine fake data, or declare your customs.

$fakerino = Fakerino::create('./conf.php');
print_r($fakerino->fake('fakeChat')->toArray());
/* 
Array(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Fake Rino <[email protected]>
                    [1] => 01 Jan 2015 14:14:42
                    [2] => Hi gentle developer!
                )

fakerino's Issues

Fake table - date field error

When a table with similar structure as below will be filed with fake data.
An error occurs for the date value:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function format() on string in /var/www/html/fake/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Types/DateType.php on line 53

Fatal error: Call to a member function format() on string in /var/www/html/fake/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Types/DateType.php on line 53

Table example to reproduce the error:

+---------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field               | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+---------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id                  | int(11)      | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| title               | varchar(255) | YES  |     | NULL    |                |
| description         | varchar(255) | YES  |     | NULL    |                |
| scheduled           | date         | YES  |     | NULL    |                |

Could be related to this doctrine/dbal#869
but anyway needs a check from Fakerino side.

README's problem

Fake 500,000 data in 1 minute. is simply not possible in a lib description. On what hardware? On what software? What data?

Numbers like this are good to:

1. Compare two or more libs (if results were given for multiple libs, which is not the case).
2. Attract ignorant weird special people.

Sadly, I am not sure that's the way to go to have an attractive lib. (I am an example, I haven't looked at the code but I already have a negative view of the lib.)

Installing ODS data in a better way

The current installation is contained in the build/ods file and dependend from unzip, a better way should be found maybe using composer post-* script.

Faking mysql doesn't work

Using the following call on CLI: app/fake -t tx_downloadcounter_domain_model_download -n 100 -c configs/git.typo3.org.php throws the following error:

I've traced it down to the point, that Doctrine doesn't provide the length information and therefore data is truncated to 0.

I'm using PHP 5.6.29 (cli) and mysql 5.7.10.

Installation of fakerino was done through composer create-project fakerino/fakerino fakerino

The configuration file looks like:

<?php

$conf['database'] = array(
    'dbname' => 'typo3_git_62',
    'user' => 'root',
    'password' => '',
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'driver' => 'pdo_mysql',
);

PDOException when fake a table

When you want to inject fake data into a table and the database connection is wrong, would be better to handle with a try/catch the PDOException and return the error message.
