BullSheet Repository

2016-02-10

A repository where you store the bullsheets.

What's a BullSheet repository?

It's a repository used by the BullSheet generator, which is a php7 generator to create random data to populate your database.

Pull requests are welcome.

Structure of this bullsheets repository

Bullsheets are organized by namespace.

This is done so, so that when you use a BullSheetGenerator, you just need to import the whole namespace into your local machine, and you can start generating random data right away.

For more information, please refer to the documentation of tallhe BullSheet planet.

- root/
----- $namespace (your namespace, like ling for instance)
--------- (your bullsheets)

Create your own bullsheets

A bullsheet is simply a text file, with entries in it, one by line. For instance, this is the content of a bullsheet for rainbow colors:

red
orange
yellow
green
blue
indigo
violet

Put that in a .txt file and there you have your bullsheet.

A tool that uses the bullsheets is the BullSheet planet by lingtalfi.

If you want to share your bullsheets via this repository, just send a pull request.

How much lines should contain a file?

Short answer: 50000 lines or less, on unix (not tested on windows).

I'm very angry when I wait, waiting 1 second is just something I can't do.

Here are my observations about the relationship between the number of lines of a data file, and the time that the BullSheetGenerator.getPureData method takes to pick one line, using an unix machine (algorithm is optimized for those machines).

• 50 000 is almost (I can see that it's not really) instantaneous, I would use that inside a 1000 iterations foreach loop
• 100 000 is noticeable but fast (I'm ok with it)
• 150 000 is unacceptable for me (but it's less than one second)

What lists are in there?

I've added a few lists, but I have my own way of organizing things, so probably the best thing to do is to have a look at the categories.

So far, we can differentiate two types of lists, text lists, and media lists.

Text lists

• list of actors

• list of adjectives, list of emotional adjectives

• list of album titles

• list of book titles

• list of charlie sheen sentences, you can assemble them randomly to create some fake comments; actually the LingBullSheetGenerator has a comment method that does just that.

• lists of companies

• list of first names and list of last names, even a list of female names and a list of male names

• list of email provider

• list of iso 639-1 lang code and list of iso 639-2 lang code

• list of lorem sentences and words

• list of youtube info, each line contains the youtube id, the duration, the title, the thumbnail and the description

• list of movie directors (male and female)

• list of movie genres

• list of movie titles

• list of music genres

• list of common passwords

• list of product names

• list of american pseudo

• list of slogan

• list of titles

• list of top level domains

• list of tv programs

• list of urls, including a list of real youtube urls, a list of fake facebook urls, a list of fake twitter urls, and more...

• list of website domains

• list of words, including lists of words indexed by letters
