Snowfakery is a tool for generatoring relational data sets. It was created by the Salesforce.org team as a partial response to a need for better test data for Salesforce projects. Snowfakery is great, but creating recipe files is a bit hard when you are first learning.
This project is meant to help bridge that gap, while experts will probably want to handcraft the files until better tools come around, this will hopefully help people understand the options as they are getting started.
Snowfakery does not require Salesforce at all, it's a totally free-standing data generator capable to produce large amounts of carefully shaped data quickly. Snowmakery a free-standing Electron app that is simple meant to generate files for Snowfakery.
Download the source code, dependencies, and run the application with electron.
git clone https://github.com/acrosman/snowmakery.git
npm i
npm start
There is a simple sample Snowfakery recipe in the sample_data directory.
