# ![a pixel fish](./assets/logo.png "fish") Spawnflake [![Rust](https://github.com/elasticrash/spawnflake/actions/workflows/rust.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/elasticrash/spawnflake/actions/workflows/rust.yml)

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

## what's new
See [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) 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)
```json
"mysql_configuration": {
"address": "localhost",
"port": 3306,
"user": "local",
"password": "password",
"schema": "test"
}
```
### type patterns (optional)
```json
"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.

```json
"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](https://crates.io/crates/spawnflake-cli) available published in crates.io.
The code for the CLI is available at `./cli`. Check [README](cli/readme.md) 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

```bash
cargo run --example generate_mysql
```
