.. BANNEREND
**django-anon** will help you anonymize your production database so it can be
shared among developers, helping to reproduce bugs and make performance improvements
in a production-like environment.

Usage
-----
Use ``anon.BaseAnonymizer`` to define your anonymizer classes:
.. code-block:: python
import anon
from your_app.models import Person
class PersonAnonymizer(anon.BaseAnonymizer):
email = anon.fake_email
# You can use static values instead of callables
is_admin = False
class Meta:
model = Person
# run anonymizer: be cautious, this will affect your current database!
PersonAnonymizer().run()
Built-in functions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code:: python
import anon
anon.fake_word(min_size=_min_word_size, max_size=20)
anon.fake_text(max_size=255, max_diff_allowed=5, separator=' ')
anon.fake_small_text(max_size=50)
anon.fake_name(max_size=15)
anon.fake_username(max_size=10, separator='')
anon.fake_email(max_size=40, suffix='@example.com')
anon.fake_url(max_size=50, scheme='http://', suffix='.com')
anon.fake_phone_number(format='999-999-9999')
Lazy attributes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lazy attributes can be defined as inline lambdas or methods, as shown below,
using the ``anon.lazy_attribute`` function/decorator.
.. code-block:: python
import anon
from your_app.models import Person
class PersonAnonymizer(anon.BaseAnonymizer):
name = anon.lazy_attribute(lambda o: 'x' * len(o.name))
@lazy_attribute
def date_of_birth(self):
# keep year and month
return self.date_of_birth.replace(day=1)
class Meta:
model = Person
The clean method
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: python
import anon
class UserAnonymizer(anon.BaseAnonymizer):
class Meta:
model = User
def clean(self, obj):
obj.set_password('test')
obj.save()
Defining a custom QuerySet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A custom QuerySet can be used to select the rows that should be anonymized:
.. code-block:: python
import anon
from your_app.models import Person
class PersonAnonymizer(anon.BaseAnonymizer):
email = anon.fake_email
class Meta:
model = Person
def get_queryset(self):
# keep admins unmodified
return Person.objects.exclude(is_admin=True)
High-quality fake data
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to be really fast, **django-anon** uses it's own algorithm to generate fake data. It is
really fast, but the generated data is not pretty. If you need something prettier in terms of data,
we suggest using `Faker `_, which can be used
out-of-the-box as the below:
.. code-block:: python
import anon
from faker import Faker
from your_app.models import Address
faker = Faker()
class PersonAnonymizer(anon.BaseAnonymizer):
postalcode = faker.postalcode
class Meta:
model = Address
.. end-usage
