从Rails控制台生成数据

Question

Let's say I have User(name, password, email, zip code) table and I want to generate User objects with random data.

Is there a command( to use on rails console), which does that? something like User.generate.

Answer 1

After adding the Faker gem to your gemfile, add this to your user.rb file.

def self.generate_new
  name     = Faker::Name.name 
  password = "foobar"
  email    = Faker::Internet.email
  zip      = Faker::Address.zip 
  User.create!(name:     name,
               passowrd: password,
               email:    email,
               zip:      zip)
end 

After restarting your console, the command User.generate_new should run this command and generate a new user with random inputs.

Take a look at this gem: https://github.com/stympy/faker

It creates fake data for objects.
