Mannequin

Mannequin is a simple test data generator. It was initially designed to abstract code from progLipsum (http://proglipsum.com) for use in other projects.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mannequin'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mannequin

Mannequin can be used to generate many different types of data. However, the basic format is the same for all data types. For example, to generate a new person:

@person = Mannequin::Person.new

You can then utilize the attributes of that person:

@person.first_name
=> "John"

@person.last_name
=> "Doe"

Currently the following test data classes and attributes have been implemented:

• Mannequin::Person

  • first_name (ex. John)
  • last_name (ex. Doe)
  • middle_name (ex. Adam)
  • middle_initial (ex. A)
  • email_address (ex. john@doe.com)

• Mannequin::Address

  • street_address (ex. 123 Maple St)
  • street_number (ex. 123)
  • street_name (ex. Maple)
  • street_type (ex. St)
  • city (ex. New York City)
  • state (ex. New York)
  • state_code (ex. NY)
  • country (ex. United States)

• Mannequin::Text

  • lipsum_paragraphs_1 (ex. "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..." - 1 paragraph)
  • lipsum_paragraphs_2 (ex. "Cras ac dolor sit amet..." - 2 paragraphs)
  • lipsum_paragraphs_3 (ex. "Nam eleifend, mauris in rhoncus..." - 3 paragraphs)
  • lipsum_paragraphs_4 (ex. "Pellentesque sollicitudin pretium tortor, sit..." - 4 paragraphs)
  • lipsum_paragraphs_5 (ex. "Fusce neque orci, lobortis in..." - 5 paragraphs)

• Mannequin::Number

  • digits_1 (random number 1 - 9)
  • digits_2 (random number 10 - 99)
  • digits_3 (random number 100 - 999)
  • digits_4 (random number 1000 - 9999)
  • digits_5 (random number 10000 - 99999)
  • digits_6 (random number 100000 - 999999)
  • digits_7 (random number 1000000 - 9999999)
  • digits_8 (random number 10000000 - 99999999)
  • digits_9 (random number 100000000 - 999999999)
