Mock data is generally using for software testing. For this task there are libraries. When add a library, you can call it with your properties for example;
For this properties:
public class Customer
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
public string ZipCode { get; set; }
public string Phone { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public string ContactName { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<Order> Orders { get; set; }
}
When you download bogus library you can create mock data like this:
public IEnumerable<Customer> GetCustomers()
{
Randomizer.Seed = new Random(123456);
var ordergenerator = new Faker<Order>()
.RuleFor(o => o.Id, Guid.NewGuid)
.RuleFor(o => o.Date, f => f.Date.Past(3))
.RuleFor(o => o.OrderValue, f => f.Finance.Amount(0, 10000))
.RuleFor(o => o.Shipped, f => f.Random.Bool(0.9f));
var customerGenerator = new Faker<Customer>()
.RuleFor(c => c.Id, Guid.NewGuid())
.RuleFor(c => c.Name, f => f.Company.CompanyName())
.RuleFor(c => c.Address, f => f.Address.FullAddress())
.RuleFor(c => c.City, f => f.Address.City())
.RuleFor(c => c.Country, f => f.Address.Country())
.RuleFor(c => c.ZipCode, f => f.Address.ZipCode())
.RuleFor(c => c.Phone, f => f.Phone.PhoneNumber())
.RuleFor(c => c.Email, f => f.Internet.Email())
.RuleFor(c => c.ContactName, (f, c) => f.Name.FullName())
.RuleFor(c => c.Orders, f => ordergenerator.Generate(f.Random.Number(10)).ToList());
return customerGenerator.Generate(100);
}
