# Generate — Universal Data Generator

A versatile CLI tool for generating random data of various types. Produce text, numbers, UUIDs, dates, names, emails, addresses, and structured formats like JSON and CSV for testing and development.

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.8+
- `bash` shell
- Write access to `~/.generate/`

## Data Storage

Generated data history is stored in JSONL format at `~/.generate/data.jsonl`. Each generation event is logged for reproducibility and batch export.

## Commands

Run commands via: `bash scripts/script.sh <command> [arguments...]`

### text

Generate random text strings: lorem ipsum, sentences, paragraphs, or custom patterns.

```bash
bash scripts/script.sh text --type lorem --words 50

```

**Arguments:**
- `--type` — Text type: `lorem`, `sentence`, `paragraph`, `word` (optional, default: `lorem`)
- `--words` — Number of words for lorem (optional, default: 20)
- `--count` — Number of items to generate (optional, default: 1)

```

**Arguments:**
- `--min` — Minimum value (optional, default: 0)
- `--max` — Maximum value (optional, default: 100)

bash scripts/script.sh address --count 3
```

**Arguments:**
- `--count` — Number of addresses (optional, default: 1)

### json

Generate random JSON objects with a specified schema.

```bash
bash scripts/script.sh json --schema '{"name":"name","age":"int:18-65","email":"email"}'
bash scripts/script.sh json --schema '{"id":"uuid","score":"float:0-100"}' --count 5
```

**Arguments:**
- `--schema` — JSON schema definition (required)
- `--count` — Number of objects (optional, default: 1)

### csv

Generate random CSV data with headers.

```bash

bash scripts/script.sh csv --columns "id:uuid,name:name,score:float:0-100" --rows 50 --output data.csv
```

**Arguments:**
- `--columns` — Column definitions (required)

## Examples

```bash
# Generate 100 user records as CSV
bash scripts/script.sh csv --columns "id:uuid,name:name,email:email,age:int:18-65" --rows 100 --output users.csv

# Create JSON test data
bash scripts/script.sh json --schema '{"user":"name","score":"float:0-100"}' --count 20

# Quick password generation
bash scripts/script.sh password --length 20 --count 10
```

## Notes

- All generated data is logged in `~/.generate/data.jsonl` for reproducibility
- Use `--seed` (where supported) for deterministic output
- Schema types for JSON/CSV: `name`, `email`, `uuid`, `int:min-max`, `float:min-max`, `bool`, `date`, `string`
- Batch mode accepts a JSON config with an array of generation commands
