BeanSprout

A data mocking tool for .NET applications.

BeanSprout automatically creates a concrete instance of your repository interfaces and generates fake data. This is useful for generating design time data.

  public interface IFoo
  {
      IEnumerable<Foo> GetFoos();
  }

  public class Foo
  {
      public int Id { get; set; }

      [FullName]
      public string Name { get; set; }

      [Static("Foo123")]
      public string Custom { get; set; }
    }

 var implementation = BS.Sprout<IFoo>(size);
 IEnumerable<Foo> data = implementation.GetFoos();

Currently BeanSprout works off of specific convetions.

• It assumes that you are passing in an interface and will also only mock interface methods that return IEnumerable.
• BeanSprout will do a shallow data mock. Complex nested model support will come in a future release.

###Future Enhancements

• Add support for multiple return types, not just IEnumerable.
• Support for Deep complex models.
• Support for RegEx DataTypes(model property attributes).
