Support for random length lists #175

Closed keremulutas closed 6 years ago

keremulutas commented 6 years ago

API documentation shows there is no support for this.

It would be really nice if we had the chance to, say, generate a list of Date objects with random length between 3 - 7

Yes, we have that idea in mind, but still thinking about proper syntax for it. Do you maybe have an idea how would you describe it through Ranger DSL?

keremulutas commented 6 years ago

Just thinking out loud. Given:

class MyObject {
    List<Integer> myRandomLengthList;
}

a nice to have syntax could be like this:

ObjectGenerator<MyObject> myObject = new ObjectGeneratorBuilder()
            .prop("myRandomLengthList", list(1, 3, random(range(1,255)))
            .build(MyObject.class);

where, 1 is the minimum element count, 3 is the maximum element count, random(...) is the generator for the list elements.

An overload could be added so exactly n instances generated by the list element generator would be added to the list.

@keremulutas Proposed solution seems nice, it would only need to include configuration based DSL with same functionality, do you care to implement it and create pull request?
