v1.0.0

[lucapette]

#43 is an exciting change to fakedata UI but, as @KevinGimbel pointed out, it's a breaking change and we agreed it's a good idea to aim for a first stable version.

Here is what i have in mind at the moment:

• New syntax for generators
• Proposal: Template functionality
• Validating and parsing all the options once before the generation starts. I think this is a bit complicated to achieve give the current design
• --format should return an error if the format isn't known
• dictionary generator
• Explain why fakedata differs from other tools plus a general restructuring of the README (I'll open a specific issue for that that incoporates Explain why fakedata differs from other data generator #16 too)
• Review the existing generators and remove as much as possible

Completing all the features/fixes of this list should give us a pretty solid (and nicely featured) fakedata v1.0.0. I'll be tagging the existing issues accordingly so we get a better overview of what's done and what needs to be done.

About #17 and #30, I know @KevinGimbel and @jorinvo respectively offered to help with those. Both features aren't easy to implement so I'm thinking I can take care of the rest while we shape those two complicated features.

Suggestions about what to add/remove from v1.0.0 are always more than welcome!

Here is the up to date milestone v1.0.0

@lucapette How do we handle documentation? All inside the README.md for now? Or should we add a Wiki to the project?

I would like to start documenting the new template feature but I don't know where to put it.

[lucapette]

@KevinGimbel I would keep it in the README for now. I suggest you add a section about templates in the readme. As soon as we land all the features we have been working on, we'll rethink it a bit because we're outgrowing the current structure (which is great!)

[KevinGimbel]

@lucapette I checked the Template functionality off the list since it's been merged.

Now what's open is the "Explain why fakedata differs" part.

[lucapette]

@KevinGimbel thank you for taking care of it! I'm working on making the template feature work together with #48 it's not the easiest merge :) As soon as I'm done with that I open a pr for the reorganization of the README and then we cut the v1.0.0. Nice release coming!

[lucapette]

I've just shipped #48 to master with a disclaimer in the docs about the breaking changes. I'll open a PR about the re-organization of the readme and then I say we're good to go for version 1.0.0!

[KevinGimbel]

@lucapette big up! These changes look really good. :)

[lucapette]

I pushed a draft of the new README #50 so we can start discussing there. I added a final check point to this issue so we can discuss which generators we intend to support in version 1.0.0. But I think it's better we do that in a separate issue. I'll take care of creating it!

[lucapette]

Done! I've just released version 1.0.0. Very happy with what we have! 🎉
