README

Fictive is a Laravel package designed to generate realistic dummy data for testing large-scale systems. Unlike traditional data generators, Fictive creates data that feels real, helping QA testers avoid confusion and enabling more effective testing scenarios.

Features

• Generate millions of realistic records for testing
• Schema-based data generation
• Data validation and normalization
• Caching to avoid duplicate data
• Simple integration with Laravel

How It Works

1. Setup and initialize Fictive functions
2. Parse your schema
3. Call the desired method to generate data
4. Validate and normalize the result
5. Cache the result for future use
6. Return the generated data as a string

Installation

Usage Example

You can use Fictive in your services, factories, or seeders. Example:

use Daycode\Fictive\Fictive;

$handlePersons = app(Fictive::class)
    ->count(1)
    ->handlePersons(); // Person Service Example

$handlePersons(function ($person) {
    User::create([
        'name' => $person->fullName(),
        'email' => $person->email(),
        'email_verified_at' => now(),
        'password' => bcrypt('password'),
        'phone_number' => $person->phoneNumber(),
        'religion' => $person->religion(),
        'hobby' => $person->hobby(),
        'blood_group' => $person->bloodGroup(),
        'job_description' => $person->jobTitle(),
    ]);
});
