1. Requirements
2. Usage

This Behavior lets you automatically generate some random data into your database. A random number will be generated for int fields. String fields will be filled with lorem ipsum Text.

Requirements ¶

Developed with Yii 1.1.13. Should work with any 1.1 Version of Yii.

Usage ¶

1. Extract the DataGenerationBehavior.php into your components/ folder

2. Register the behavior on the model where you want to generate demo data :

public function behaviors() {
	return array(
		'DataGenerationBehavior' => array(
		'class' => 'application.components.DataGenerationBehavior',
	)
);
}

1. Make sure to be in YII_DEBUG mode and call $model->generateDemoData(); somewhere.

2. You can configure 'count', 'intMin', 'intMax' or the 'lorem' attribute.

count: number of data sets to be generated, default 10 intMin: minimal number generated for int fields, default 0 maxMin: minimal number generated for int fields, default 1000 lorem: the text generated, default is the lorem ipsum default text.

TODO:

• At the moment we do not obey relations! Would be cool if a random number would be generated only for valid related objects! (for example, a column user_id that links to a specified user would generate a random number between all available users)
