I want to generate some fake data for testing on demand. Either console script or button within admin. Ideally have the option of generating x number of customers/customer addresses, orders (either as they are, invoiced or invoiced and shipped), products (simples are fine although could extend to other types), categories. Essentially speed up extension and template development.

I always feel the sample data does more than it should. I don't need all the other configuration changes. Less/easier to delete after use. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Or know of an extension?

I looked at this https://github.com/experius/Magento-2-Module-Experius-FakeMyData but I think this is the wrong approach

I was hoping to find an M2 version of this https://github.com/ovanschie/mageFaker

I hope it helps, easy for your reference generate more sample data, we can use the below command to generate sample data profile (small, medium, large, and extra large).

bin/magento setup:perf:generate-fixtures /var/www/html/magento2/setup/performance-toolkit/profiles/ce/small.xml

  • Thanks for heads up. link for ref. That's closer to what I need although would be better if you could pick and choose what to generate instead of choosing a profile. I'm going to study the code to see if I can put together something myself.
