Basic

Create configuration file

To define your generators, create a new element-generator.php file within your config/ folder. This file should return an array with an generators key, which defines your generators.

Example: PostsTemplate Code

<?php

use panlatent\craft\element\generator\value\Context;

return [
    'default' => [],
    'generators' => [
        'posts' => function () {
            return [
                'elementType' => \craft\elements\Entry::class,
                'section' => 'posts',
                'values' => function (Context $ctx) {
                    $title = $ctx->faker->company();
                    return [
                        'title' => $title,
                        'shortName' => mb_substr($title, 0, 4),
                        // price is matrix field
                         'price' => [
                            [
                                'type' => 'range',
                                'fields' => [
                                    'min' => $min,
                                    'max' => $min + $ctx->faker->numberBetween(10, 100)*5000,
                                ],
                            ]
                        ],
                        // publishOption is custom field. The closure can inject field object.
                        'publishOption' => function($field) {
                            // Context->random provides some quick methods to pick field value.
                            return $ctx->random->option($field);
                        }
                    ];
                },
            ];
        },
    ],
];

<?php

return [
    'default' => [],
    'generators' => [],
];

Generators are configurable items used to generate element content. They are used to define the generation logic and are configured in the generators array in the configuration file. The key is the name of the generator and the value is an array or a callback function that returns an array. For all generators, the elementType must be specified.
