Mockaroo.NET is a portable class library that allows you to generate sample data based on C# objects using the Mockaroo REST API.

How it works

Lets say you have the following class.

public class Employee
{
	public int Id { get; set; }
	public string Name { get; set; }
	public string Phone { get; set; } 
}

Now you want to generate a collection Employee objects to do some testing. All you have to do is.

var client = new MockarooClient(your_api_key);
IEnumerable<Employee> data = await client.FetchDataAsync<Employee>(records: 100);

This will examine the Employee class properties, then generate random sample objects using the data fetched from the Mockaroo Rest API. The data returned will look something like the following.

[{
	"Id": "156",
	"Name": "aliquam erat volutpat in congue etiam",
	"Phone": "adipiscing molestie hendrerit at vulputate"
}]

If Lorem Ipsum text is not to your liking, you can fine-tune the data returned using the following.

var schema = new Schema<Employee>();
schema.Assign(x=> x.Name, DataType.FullName);
schema.Assign(x=> x.Phone, new PhoneField() { BlankPercentage = 50 });

var client = new MockarooClient(your_api_key);
IEnumerable<Employee> data = await client.FetchDataAsync<Employee>(schema, records: 1000);

The results will look like the following.

[{
	"Id": "156",
	"Name": "John Doe",
	"Phone": "[phone]"
}]

Currently there are over 85+ data types to choose from, check out the Mockaroo documentation to see the full list. You can also try it at https://www.mockaroo.com/
