About

This class project provides data generators for developers to use for learning, testing, and pre-populating data sources, such as Microsoft EF Core.

Core

Uses NuGet package Bogus to generate fake data.

Classes

  • This is a small .NET class library (target: net8.0) that provides fake/test data generators built on the Bogus library. Key folders:
    • Generators/: Generator classes that produce Models/* instances (e.g., HumanGenerator, ProductGenerator, UserGenerator).
    • Models/: Plain data models used across generators and the DataContainer singleton.
    • Classes/: helpers like DataContainer which bootstraps example datasets.
    • LanguageExtensions/: small utility/extension methods.

Typical data flow & patterns

  • Generators expose Create(int count, bool random = false) and CreateOne(bool random = false) helpers. Example: Generators/HumanGenerator.cs and Generators/ProductGenerator.cs.
  • Most generators use Bogus Faker<T> and often set Seed = new Random(338) when random == false to produce deterministic, repeatable output. Respect and preserve this seed behavior when changing APIs.
  • Some generators use StrictMode(true) on the faker to ensure all model properties are populated (see ProductGenerator).
  • Generators/JsonGenerator.cs provides GenerateJson() and typed helpers like HumansAsJson(...) — use these for quick serialized output examples.
  • Classes/DataContainer constructs sample datasets on demand using the generators — it's a useful runnable example of how pieces fit together.
