Anonymize DB with power of Faker

Installation

composer require --dev joonas1234/laravel-anonymize-db

Publish the config:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config --provider=Joonas1234\\LaravelAnonymizeDB\\AnonymizeDBServiceProvider

This will create config\anonymize-db.php file for you. You can use this file to configure which columns should be anonymized

Config consists of tables and fakerProviders arrays. tables is used to define which tables and columns should be anonymized. For example if you want to anonymize register numbers and owner names in cars -table, you can do it like this:

<?php

return [
    'tables' => [
        'cars' => [
            'register_number' => 'vehicleRegistration',
            'owner_name' => 'name',
        ],
    ],
    'fakerProviders' => [
        'Fakecar'
    ]
]

It is required to add FakeCar to fakerProviders so faker can utilize vehicleRegistration from Fakecar.

Modifiers

You can also use Faker's special providers: unique(), optional() and valid():

<?php

return [
    'tables' => [
        'users' => [
            'email' => 'email|unique',
        ],
    ],
]

Command to anonymize

php artisan db:anonymize
