swagger-data-gen

A command line interface (CLI) to generate mock test data from a Swagger Doc

New:

  • Use this project in your code! (still in beta)
  • Tries its best to give you real looking data.

Usage

CLI

Generate a json file filled with mock data of your API from your Swagger/OpenAPI Doc.

  • Supports both YAML and JSON Swagger/OpenAPI file formats.
  • Scans the defined definitions and creates the test data based it.
  • creates data for every definition property, not just the required fields.
# install via npm
$: npm install swagger-data-gen -g

# specified output file will br created if it does not already exist.
$: swagger-data-gen <path-to-input-file> <path-to-output-file>

Library

Install:

$: npm install -save swagger-data-gen

Simplest use case

// importing entire package
import SwaggerDataGen from 'swagger-data-gen';

let generatedData;

swaggerDataGenerator.build('./samples/PetStore.yaml')
    .then((api: Swagger) => {
        generatedData = SwaggerDataGen.generateData(swaggerObject);
    });

// access genereated data by definition name on swagger doc
const petData = generatedData.pet;

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
// importing specific functions
import { build, generate } from 'swagger-data-gen';

let generatedData;

build('./samples/Perscription.json')
    .then((api: Swagger) => {
        generatedData = generateData(swaggerObject);
    });

// access genereated data by definition name on swagger doc
const customerData = generatedData.customer;

Coming Soon

  • CLI options
    • specify and create multiple random copies of the data
    • each definition getting its own output file
    • option to chose between generating all data or only required data.
