added faker fixture command

[Ragazzo]

Done, this is for issue #1506
Things to discuss:

• i think we need basic fixture command that will have actionUp/actionDown to apply fixtures to the table or reset table, very simple to implement. Also this will help faker\FixtureController to be more useful for users because of faker\FixtureController < console\FixtureController
• Do we need README.md in the extension repo?

@samdark @qiangxue maybe some other thoughts/suggestions? other developers? :)

Example:

# users.php template
return [
    'name'  =>  'name',
    'phone' =>  'phoneNumber',
    'city'  =>  'city',
];

English version:

#users.php generated fixture

return [
    [
        'name' => "Litzy Effertz Sr.",
        'phone' => "300-413-7407",
        'city' => "East Eraport",
    ],
    [
        'name' => "Marcelina Shanahan",
        'phone' => "(699)210-2743",
        'city' => "Boscostad",
    ],
    [
        'name' => "Mrs. Nico Reynolds IV",
        'phone' => "1-716-733-0810x033",
        'city' => "South Clemmieberg",
    ],
    [
        'name' => "Mary Wolf",
        'phone' => "464-410-2653",
        'city' => "West Heath",
    ],
    [
        'name' => "Kyla Gottlieb",
        'phone' => "(479)691-1691x63812",
        'city' => "Port Dashawn",
    ],
];

Russian version:

return [
    [
        'name' => "Ситников Витольд Владимирович",
        'phone' => "(35222) 97-2086",
        'city' => "Дмитров",
    ],
    [
        'name' => "Ковалёв Захар Владимирович",
        'phone' => "+7 (922) 574-6047",
        'city' => "Клин",
    ],
    [
        'name' => "Романов Анатолий Алексеевич",
        'phone' => "(495) 980-8701",
        'city' => "Видное",
    ],
    [
        'name' => "Мишин Валериан Владимирович",
        'phone' => "(495) 637-3634",
        'city' => "Дорохово",
    ],
    [
        'name' => "Носов Прохор Максимович",
        'phone' => "+7 (922) 117-4446",
        'city' => "Дорохово",
    ],
];

there are a lot of languages and formatters (data providers) see this guide https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker and source https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker/tree/master/src/Faker/Provider

Do we need README.md in the extension repo?

Yes and also composer.json + license + changelog. you can copy them from other extensions.

[Ragazzo]

@cebe done, thanks.

[Ragazzo]

added base fixture controller. i think its ready for review and maybe merge :)

[Ragazzo]

also added default actions so this commands will be more useful.

[Ragazzo]

i cloned new my Yii2 repo so this branch is not available for me anymore. If there will be some bugs/suggestions they can be fixed/added after this one merge. Anyway this one is ready for review.

[cebe]

i cloned new my Yii2 repo so this branch is not available for me anymore.

assuming your repo remote is origin, just do:

git fetch origin
git checkout yii2-faker-integration

and you'll have it back.

[Ragazzo]

thanks will do, i thought branch was automatically deleted :(

[samdark]

What does nb mean in $nbWords? Can it be renamed to be meaningful?

[Ragazzo]

its just an example taken from Faker official guide. This is not part of current PR.

[samdark]

It is in PR diff. That means it is part of it, isn't?

[Ragazzo]

yes, but it is in docs as you can see. Just an example for users so they dont need to go to Faker guide and search it there. As you can see it is very big https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker and this example is just in the half of it.

[samdark]

Looks OK to me overall. Haven't actually tried using it though.

[Ragazzo]

ok, will fix all your suggestions.

[Ragazzo]

i think i will close this PR, because of i cant get this branch back (it was in my Yii2 github repo, but then i deleted it and forked new one from main Yii2 repo). So i guess i need to manually restore all files.

[cebe]

you can do

git fetch origin
git checkout yii2-faker-integration

to get your branch back. assuming origin is the name of your forks git remote

[Ragazzo]

@cebe i cant. i re-forked repo on github: deleted and then forked once again. my current remote dont have such branch.

[cebe]

oh okay.
