Spawnflake is a schema agnostic, random and/or patterns based data generator, for MySQL databases.

what's new

See CHANGELOG for updates and new features.

usage

This library works by providing a configuration file (config.json). The configuration is divided into two sections.

connection properties (mandatory)

 "mysql_configuration": {
        "address": "localhost",
        "port": 3306,
        "user": "local",
        "password": "password",
        "schema": "test"
    }

type patterns (optional)

 "types": {
        "string": [
            {
                "name": "column_name",
                "rules": []
            }
        ],
        "integer": [
            {
                "name": "column_name",
                "rules":[]
            }
        ],
        "float": [
            {
                "name": "column_name",
                "rules":[]
            }
        ]
    }

Rules

  • Rules for numeric types and dates just desired ranges (from, to). Important!! the small values need to be first in the lists.
  • Rules for strings are combinatinatory, you provide collections that are mixed and matched. i.e.
   "rules": [
                    [
                        "Jo",
                        "Ni",
                        "Ste",
                        "Da",
                        "Sco",
                        "Ma"
                    ],
                    [
                        "ve",
                        "vi",
                        "pha",
                        "ro",
                        "na",
                        "ri"
                    ],
                    [
                        "n",
                        "ck",
                        "tt",
                        "d",
                        "than",
                        "na"
                    ]
                ]

This could create real names like David but also complete random combinations like Jophack

known limitations

  • When handling cyclic dependencies, keys are not currently updated retrospectively. This feature is planned for a future version
  • If a foreign key is unique, fewer records will be inserted into that table. Unique foreign key values are not supported yet.
  • In certain cases, number validation in the configuration is not performed, records assosiated with problematic tables cloud be
    • skipped
    • panic
    • use default values depending on a case by case basis.

CLI

The main project in this repository is a library, but there is also a CLI version available published in crates.io. The code for the CLI is available at ./cli. Check README for usage and more information.

Running the example

Running the example requires running docker-compose inside the test folder. Make sure you have

  • Docker
  • An SQL client/ or a way to access the MySQL cli to view the generated records

To run the example execute

cargo run --example generate_mysql
