Show HN: DataConstruct – mock data generator and code generation

[clearfeld]

Hello HN,

Today we're sharing with you DataConstruct, a tool to help you generate mock data and the code to consume it.

Features:

- Exporting data to json, yaml, xml

- Generating PostgreSQL, MySQL scripts

- Code gen for various languages including but not limited to C++, Rust, Typescript, Java, C#, Go, Dart, Swift, Mojo

You can try it out at the link below (no signup or credit card needed), the only limit being up to 1000 rows per generation within the playground.

If there's languages, databases, data generators, frameworks, or other locales you'd want to see supported let us know!

Our email if you'd prefer to contact us this way: [e-mail]

Neat-o. We're standing up a standard sandbox and something like this would be helpful. Lots of...interesting data types (Tolkien quotes?). What's it like adding some custom data types (eg domain) and getting them anonymized?

Glad to hear this could be of some use :).

Haha, for the data types we internally have a goal of bringing all the different faker libraries data generators over to ours with mostly matching APIs. If I remember right faker-ruby is where the Tolkien quotes come from.

As for brining over custom data type we plan to launch the ability to add your own custom datasets and use them for generation this week. As for getting them anonymized, could you elaborate on what you mean exactly?

Looks pretty cool :) We can help with the anonymization piece if you're interested in checking us out - github.com/nucleuscloud/neosync

Wow, I've been looking for something like this. Thanks
