About project

PolishDataGen is a tool for generating and validating polish identification numbers. The tool was implemented as an extension to the DevToys 2.0 preview application.

The current version supports generation and validation:

• PESEL
• NIP
• REGON (9 digits)
• REGON (14 digits)
• Identity Card Number

---

The extension works for both GUI and CLI versions of DevToys 2.0.

CLI

The CLI version supports the generation of larger output sets than the GUI version. There is also an option to generate data concurrently, but this is a work in progress and at this point does not cause much benefit.

Generator - examples:

.\DevToys.CLI.exe pdg -t identity-card-number -n 100
.\DevToys.CLI.exe pdg -t nip -n 100000 -mt
.\DevToys.CLI.exe pdg --type identity-card-number --number 100
.\DevToys.CLI.exe polish-data-generator --type nip --number 10000 --multithreading

By default, the program prints the generated data to the terminal, but it is possible to use the -o/--output switch to define the path to the output folder containing the generated data. The name of the generated file has the format generated-<NUMBER_OF_IDS>-<DATA_TYPE>-in-<PROCESSING_TIME>-ms.txt.

.\DevToys.CLI.exe pdg -t pesel -n 38000000 -o destination

Validator - examples:

The pdv/polish-data-validator tool allows verification of a single identifier. The -d/--detailed switch returns a list of detailed errors. On the other hand, the -ri/--return-integer switch will cause the process to return an integer value (-1 validation error; 0 - success)

.\DevToys.CLI.exe pdv -t pesel -i 49144367520
.\DevToys.CLI.exe pdv --type pesel --input 49144367520

# Validation result for '49144367520' using 'Pesel': Invalid

.\DevToys.CLI.exe pdv -t pesel -i 49144367520 -d

# Validation result for '49144367520' using 'Pesel': Invalid
# 
# PESEL Month part must be in range 1 to 12
# PESEL Day part must be in range 1 to 31
# PESEL invalid control number

.\DevToys.CLI.exe pdv -t pesel -i 49144367520 -ri
$LASTEXITCODE

# prints -1

GUI

Download DevToys 2.0-preview and the DevToys.PolishDataGen nuget package (from the repository or from the NuGet Gallery) and then install the tool in the extensions management tab.

Launching the project

Unit tests from DevToys.PolishDataGen.Test.csproj that verify generators and validators do not need DevToys 2.0 to work, but developing and debugging the DevToys.PolishDataGen.csproj requires the configuration described in the DevToys application documentation.
