Data Factory aka 'dfac'

A simple to use python app for generating data of different types and configurations. Can be run as a module or used as library.

Usage Instruction as app

Usage: dfac.py [OPTION...] [OUTPUT]... Datafactory generates random string of data for testing and other purposes.

Examples:

dfac.py -t a -v n

dfac.py -t s -v u -x [filename]

DESCRIPTION Datafactory generates random string of data for testing and other purposes.

OPTIONS -t, --datatype Option for the data type to be generated. Below are the available datatypes.

Data Types
    s, string 
        print out string as data type
    a, array 
        print out array as data type 

-v, --valuetype Option for the type of value to be generated. Below are the available value type options.

Value Types
    For String data type
        n, alphanumeric 
            print out string containing random values of latin alphabet and numbers
        a, alphabet
            print out random string alphabet in a mix of uppercase and lowercase.
        u, upper
            print out random string of alphabet in uppercase.
        l, lower
            print out random string of alphabet in lowercase.
        y, alphasymbolic
            print out random mix of alphabet and symbols.

    For Array data type
        n, alphanumeric
            print out array containing strings with random alphabets and numbers.
        a, alphabet
            print out array containing strings with random alphabets uppercase and lowercase.
        u, upper
            print out array containing strings with random alphabets uppercase.
        l, lower
            print out array containing strings with random alphabets containing lowercase.
        y, alphasymbolic
            print out array containing strings with random alphabets and symbols.
        i, integer
            print out array containing strings with random integer.
        d, decimal
            print out array containing strings with random decimal numbers.
        o, symbolic
            print out array containing string with random symbols.

-0, --length Option to print out length of string or array.

-L, --low (For Array types) Option to set minimum length of value.

-H, --high (For Array types) Option to set maximum length of value.

-x, --file Print out generated value to file, if no name is provided output.txt is used.

-h, --help Print this help text.

Usage Instruction as library

Examples:

from core.StringGenerator import StringGenerator

object=StringGenerator(7,'AlphaNumeric')

object.generate()

Example Output:

hDCyDM6

Class Available:
    a. StringGenerator(length, type) [from core.StringGenerator]
    b .ArrayGenerator(length,type, low, high) [from core.ArrayGenerator]
        low = lowest length of the data generated
        high = highest length of the data generated  

Types available for ArrayGenerator: 'AlphaNumeric', 'Alphabet', 'Alphabet_Upper', 'Alphabet_Lower', 'AlphaSymbolic', 'Integer', 'Decimal', 'Symbolic'

Types available for StringGenerator: 'AlphaNumeric', 'Alphabet', 'Alphabet_Upper', 'Alphabet_Lower', 'AlphaSymbolic'
