data-generator-helpdesk

Generates fake data for a helpdesk application (users, agents, products, tickets, etc).

Adding To An Existing Project

Add the data-generator-helpdesk dependency, then require the data generator and execute it to get an object representing the data:

$ npm install data-generator-helpdesk

const dataGenerator = require("data-generator-helpdesk");

console.log(JSON.stringify(dataGenerator(), null, 2));
// {
//   "agents": [
//     ...
//   ],
//   "customers": [
//     ...
//   ],
//   "products": [
//     ...
//   ],
//   "messages": [
//     ...
//   ],
//   "tickets": [
//     ...
//   ],
//   "locks": [
//     ...
//   ],
//   "ticketReads": [
//     ...
//   ]
// }

Running In A REST API

The data generator can be used to generate data for a REST API via json server. Clone the repository, install it, and run the server script:

$ git clone https://github.com/marmelab/data-generator-helpdesk
$ cd data-generator-helpdesk
$ npm install
$ npm run server

Outputting The Data

If you just need the data, use the print script:

$ git clone https://github.com/marmelab/data-generator-helpdesk
$ cd data-generator-helpdesk
$ npm install
$ npm run print
