cap-js-mockdata v0.0.3

SAP CAP Mockdata Plugin

A SAP CAP plugin to generate CSV files populated with mock data for testing.

This plugin uses Faker to generate meaningful mock data both automatically and through annotations.

Setup

All you need to do is to install the plugin and add the @Mockdata annotations to your entities.

Installation

Install the plugin as an npm module:

npm i -D cap-js-mockdata

Annotation

The annotation tag is @Mockdata. You can add and combine all valid Faker module APIs.

// db/schema.cds

entity Customers : cuid, managed {
  name       String  @Mockdata: {person: 'fullName'};
  sex        String  @Mockdata: {person: 'sex'};
  creditCard String  @Mockdata: {finance: 'creditCardNumber'};
  phone      String  @Mockdata: {phone: 'number'};
  ipAddress  String  @Mockdata: {internet: 'ipv4'};
  email      String  @Mockdata: {internet: 'email'};
  street     String  @Mockdata: {location: 'streetAddress'};
  country    String  @Mockdata: {location: 'countryCode'};
};

Using

Once you have installed the plugin and added the annotations, or not, you can execute the following command in a terminal:

cds add mockdata

The cds add mockdata command will create CSV files for every supported CDS Entity. The CSV files will be created into the db/data folder, the filenames will be something like namespace-entityName.csv and their content will look like:
