Provides Drupal services and Drush 9 commands for easy creation of dummy data.

Installation

This package requires PHP 7.1 and Drupal 8.7.7 or higher. It can be installed using Composer:

 composer require wieni/wmdummy_data

How does it work?

Creating factories and states

To learn more about how to define your factory and state classes, please refer to the wieni/wmmodel_factory docs.

In order to have access to the following functionality, you need to extend EntityFactoryBase or EntityStateBase instead of the classes provided by wmmodel_factory.

Generate content using wieni/wmcontent

To generate content for an entity using the wmcontent module, make your generator implement ContentGenerateInterface.

Example
<?php

namespace Drupal\my_module\Entity\ModelFactory\Factory\Node;

use Drupal\wmcontent\Entity\WmContentContainer;
use Drupal\wmdummy_data\EntityFactoryBase;

/**
 * @EntityFactory(
 *     entity_type = "node",
 *     bundle = "page",
 * )
 */
class PageFactory extends EntityFactoryBase implements ContentGenerateInterface
{
    public function make(): array
    {
        return [
            'title' => $this->faker->sentence(4),
            'menu_link' => null,
        ];
    }
    
    public function generateContent(WmContentContainer $container): array
    {
        $entityType = $container->getChildEntityType();
        $bundles = $container->getChildBundles() ?: $container->getChildBundlesAll();
        $amount = $this->faker->numberBetween(1, 10);

        return array_map(
            fn () => $this->faker->entityWithType($entityType, $this->faker->randomElement($bundles)),
            array_fill(0, $amount, null)
        );
    }
}

Generate entities to reference

To populate entity reference fields with new or existing entities, use the following methods in your generator:

  • $this->faker->entity() (passing the class name of an entity bundle class)
  • $this->faker->entityWithType() (passing entity type ID and optionally bundle as strings)
Example
<?php

namespace Drupal\my_module\Entity\ModelFactory\Factory\Node;

use Drupal\my_module\Entity\TaxonomyTerm\Tag;
use Drupal\wmdummy_data\EntityFactoryBase;

/**
 * @EntityFactory(
 *     entity_type = "node",
 *     bundle = "page",
 * )
 */
class PageFactory extends EntityFactoryBase
{
    public function make(): array
    {
        return [
            'title' => $this->faker->sentence(4),
            'menu_link' => null,
            'field_tag' => [
                'entity' => $this->faker->entity(Tag::class),
            ],
        ];
    }
}

Generate links to Vimeo and YouTube videos

To get access to existing links to Vimeo and YouTube videos in your generators, use the following methods:

  • $this->faker->vimeoUrl
  • $this->faker->youTubeUrl
Example
<?php

namespace Drupal\my_module\Entity\ModelFactory\Factory\ContentBlock;

use Drupal\wmdummy_data\EntityFactoryBase;

/**
 * @EntityFactory(
 *     entity_type = "content_block",
 *     bundle = "video",
 * )
 */
class VideoFactory extends EntityFactoryBase
{
    public function make(): array
    {
        $data = [
            'field_video_title' => $this->faker->optional()->sentence($this->faker->numberBetween(4, 8)),
            'field_video_type' => $this->faker->randomElement(['youtube', 'vimeo']),
        ];

        switch ($data['field_video_type']) {
            case 'vimeo':
                $data['field_video_vimeo'] = $this->faker->vimeoUrl;
                break;
            case 'youtube':
                $data['field_video_youtube'] = $this->faker->youTubeUrl;
                break;
        }

        return $data;
    }
}

Pick a random element from an array using weights

To get a random element from an array with some elements having a bigger chance to be returned than others, use the following method in your generators:

$this->faker->randomElementWithWeight()

passing an array with the values as keys and weights as values, in the form of integers.

Example
<?php

namespace Drupal\my_module\Entity\ModelFactory\Factory\Node;

use Drupal\node\NodeInterface;
use Drupal\wmdummy_data\EntityFactoryBase;

/**
 * @EntityFactory(
 *     entity_type = "node",
 *     bundle = "page",
 * )
 */
class PageFactory extends EntityFactoryBase
{
    public function make(): array
    {
        return [
            'title' => $this->faker->sentence(4),
            'menu_link' => null,
            'status' => $this->faker->randomElementWithWeight([
                NodeInterface::NOT_PUBLISHED => 70,
                NodeInterface::PUBLISHED => 30,
            ]),
        ];
    }
}

Generate strings of HTML

To generate random strings of HTML, use one of the following methods in your generators:

  • $this->faker->htmlBlock (generates a block of HTML with headings, paragraphs, lists and a table)
  • $this->faker->htmlHeading (generates a random heading between levels H1 and H6, a number can also be passed to choose the level yourself)
  • $this->faker->htmlParagraph (a p tag with random text, also containing strong and a tags)
  • $this->faker->htmlOrdenedList (a ol tag with random list items)
  • $this->faker->htmlUnordenedList (a ul tag with random list items)
  • $this->faker->htmlEmbed (an iframe tag with a random url, not necessarily a real one)
  • $this->faker->htmlAnchor (an a tag with a random url, not necessarily a real one)
  • $this->faker->htmlTable (a table tag with a heading and a couple of rows/columns)

Drush commands

This package provides a couple of Drush commands for managing dummy data:

  • wmdummy-data:generate: Generate entities
  • wmdummy-data:delete: Delete generated entities

For more information about command aliases, arguments, options & usage examples, call the command with the -h / --help argument

User interface

If you prefer working with the Drupal administration interface over using the CLI, you can use the form at /admin/config/development/wmdummy-data. This page can also be found through the administration menu (Configuration > Development > Dummy data).

Only users with the generate dummy data and/or delete dummy data permissions can use these features through the administration interface.

Events

You can subscribe to the following events to attach custom logic to the dummy data generation process:

Drupal\wmdummy_data\DummyDataEvents::MAKE

Will be triggered after an entity is generated.

Drupal\wmdummy_data\DummyDataEvents::CREATE

Will be triggered after an entity is generated and persisted to the database.

All notable changes to this project will be documented in the CHANGELOG file.
