The CSV format remains one of the simplest and most widely used methods for data exchange. Its popularity has led to a constant need for developers to generate large volumes of CSV files for testing purposes. My latest open source project aims to address this need.

This project, , is a Java library designed to help developers generate randomized data files. Currently, it supports CSV and Fixed Width formats, with plans to expand to JSON formats in the future.

This guide will walk you through generating a simple CSV file using the library and the Faker library for random data generation.

Maven Integration

For Maven projects, you can add the required dependencies to your project's pom.xml file by including the following XML snippet:

au.com.anthonybruno        SdGen        0.3.0                com.github.javafaker        javafaker        0.14

Instructions

First, obtain an instance of the Faker class with the following code:

Faker faker = Faker.instance();

Next, use the Faker instance to generate values like URLs or names using methods such as faker.internet().url() or faker.space().planet().

To create the structure for your CSV file, use the SDGen builder. Start with:

Gen.start()

Then, add fields using the addField method. This method takes two parameters: the field name (used to identify the column in the generated file) and a generator (a simple interface with a single method to generate random values). Here's how to add "First Name" and "Last Name" fields:

Gen.start()    .addField("First Name", () -> faker.name().firstName())    .addField("Last Name", () -> faker.name().lastName())

For the "Age" field, you can use SDGen's built-in generator with specified min and max values:

Gen.start()    .addField("First Name", () -> faker.name().firstName())    .addField("Last Name", () -> faker.name().lastName())    .addField("Age", new IntGenerator(18, 80))

Next, specify the number of rows to generate and select the output format. For CSV files, you can use:

Gen.start()    .addField("First Name", () -> faker.name().firstName())    .addField("Last Name", () -> faker.name().lastName())    .addField("Age", new IntGenerator(18, 80))    .generate(1000)    .asCsv()

Finally, specify how to output the data. Use the toFile method to save the generated data to a file:

Gen.start()    .addField("First Name", () -> faker.name().firstName())    .addField("Last Name", () -> faker.name().lastName())    .addField("Age", new IntGenerator(18, 80))    .generate(1000)    .asCsv()    .toFile("people.csv");

That's it! Running the code will generate a CSV file in your project's working directory. Here's an example of the generated data:

First Name,Last Name,Age  
Corrine,Berge,78  
Gerald,Carter,63  
Enid,Padberg,66  
Eleanora,Murray,79  
Coy,Okuneva,76  
Jovan,Reynolds,77  
Lane,Haag,48
