FakeData on interface that is a slice

[pioz]

Is possible with faker do something like this:

func BulkCreate(db *gorm.DB, records interface{}) {
	switch reflect.TypeOf(records).Kind() {
	case reflect.Slice:
		slice := reflect.ValueOf(records)
		for i := 0; i < slice.Len(); i++ {
			faker.FakeData(slice.Index(i).Interface())
			fmt.Println(slice.Index(i).Interface())
		}
		db.Create(slice.Interface())
	}
}

I've tried, but this function does not modify the slice.Index(i).Interface() with fake data.

Here a playground.

Any idea to achieve this behavior?

Hi, maybe you can try this.

• I've changed the faker version, you're using the old one.
• I use reflect.Set to set the value back

I'm closing this issue now, feel free to re-open if you have questions
