Graph Data Generator

Package for generating interconnected mock data from .json graph data models.

JSON Spec

Is the same specification used by the arrows.app which is a GUI for generating graph data models. The .json spec has 2 required keys, nodes and relationships:

{
    "nodes":[],
    "relationships: []
}

Each must contain an array (or list) of dictionary objects with formats dependent on the key type:

Nodes must have the following property keys and value types:

{
    "id": str,
    "position": {
    "x": float,
    "y": float
    },
    "caption": string,
    "labels": list[str],
    "properties": dict[str:str],
    "style": {}
}

Example:
{
    "id": "n0",
    "position": {
    "x": -306.93969052033395,
    "y": 271.3634778613202
    },
    "caption": "Person",
    "labels": [],
    "properties": {
        "email": "[e-mail]",
        "salary_usd": "3000.00",
        "first_name": "Jane",
        "last_name": "Doe"
    },
    "style": {}
}

Relationships must have the following keys and value types:

    {
      "id": str,
      "type": str,
      "style": dict,
      "properties": dict[str,str],
      "fromId": str,
      "toId": str
    }

Example:
    {
      "id": "n0",
      "type": "WORKS_AT",
      "style": {},
      "properties": {
        "start_epoch":"1672904355",
        "end_epoch":"1688542755"
      },
      "fromId": "n0",
      "toId": "n1"
    }

Properties of either nodes or relationships can be used to further define the type of data generated.

The following keywords are reserved:

Keyword	Description	Example Value
COUNT	Specifies the number of this node or relationship type to generate	3

COUNT The COUNT keyword can take the following optional value formats:

Type	Example	Output Description
Int	2	Would generate two of the nodes / relationships this was a property for
Range	0-10	Would randomly generate a number between 0 (No node or relationship) and 10
Random from List	[3,5,6]	Would randomly generate three, five, or six nodes / relationships

All other node / relationship property keys will be passed along to generated records. Values will be passed along as strings unless they match 1 of several formats:

GENERATOR SPECIFICATIONS Generator specifications are stringified JSON dictionaries that have only a single key that takes a single list as an arg, looking like:

{ "generator_name": [] }

The generator_name must be one of the existing unique generator names included in the package's generators/ folder. If this format is detected but a matching generator can not be found, then the entire string will be written as the property value.

The list value is the arguments list for the generator. The expected value types and number are dependent on the specified generator. The generators/ALL_GENERATORS.py file contains a generators_json file that list all the available generators, their type, and what arguments (if any) each expect.

Types of Generators:

Type	Output Description
bool	True or False
int	Integer number
float	Float value
string	String value
datetime	A string representation of an ISO 8601 datetime object
assignment	Used to determine how to exhaust a source list. ie relationships generation
function	Combines output from multiple generators

Function Generators Function generators allow combining output from multiple generators. Use other generator specifications in it's argument in the order they should be combined in.

CONVENIENCE KEYWORDS The following keyword values, regardless of casing, will map to pre-built generators as shorthands:

Value	Output Description
bool	Random True or False value
boolean	(Same as above)
date	Random date between 1970-01-01 and today
datetime	(Same as above)
int	Random integer between 1 and 100
integer	(Same as above)
float	Random two decimal float value between 1.00 and 100.00
string	Between 1 and 3 random lorem words

CONVENIENCE SHORTHANDS The following value formats will map to pre-built functions with a given set of arguments:

Type	Example Value	Output Description
Range of Ints	0-3	Each record will have a randomly generated value between 0 and 3
Range of Floats	1.0-3.0	Each record will have a randomly generated float value between 1.0 and 3.0. The highest decimal precision in either the start or end range value will be returned
List of Ints	[1,3,5]	Each record will have a randomly selected int value from the list
List of Floats	[2.0, 5.00, 7.001]	Each record will have a randomly selected float from the list. The highest precision specified in any of the floats will be used in the resulting value (so if 2.0 were selected, the value 2.000 would be returned)
List of Strings	["Iron Man", "Captain America", "Spiderman"]	Each record would have one of the listed string values. So from the example case: Iron Man, Captain America, or Spiderman would be assigned to each node / relationship record created

Installation

pip install graph-data-generator

To use in a project: import graph_data_generator as gdg

To generate a .zip file and return as bytes, pass a json object as an arg: bytes_file = gdg.generate_zip(json_object)

Package Usage

Build locally: poetry build

To use in another poetry project: import graph_data_generator as gdg
