Test file generator

This is a simple module to generate many different random files, which could be used for testing other algorithms that work with files.

Currently supported formats (jpeg, gif, cvs and txt).

Image	Gif

For other examples on random cvs / txt check the exampleOutput folder.

How to use from command line:

npm install -g test-file-generator    

generate --help

generate 

If you want to generate more than one file

generate --number 10

How to use from your project:

• Install npm install test-file-generator or yarn install test-file-generator
• Include in your project

import { TestFileGenerator } from 'test-file-generator';
let generator = new TestFileGenerator('txt');
generator.generateFile();

1. To generate one txt file and random name, at the default path "./".

  let generator = new TestFileGenerator('txt');
  generator.generateFile();

2. This will generate a gif file with the specified parameters.

  let generator = new TestFileGenerator('gif');
  generator.setLocation('my_path/');
  generator.setImageSize(100, 100);
  generator.setName('my_file_name');
  generator.generateFile();

3. This will generate a cvs file of 3000 KB.

  let generator = new TestFileGenerator('csv');
  generator.setLocation('output/');
  generator.setSize(3000);
  generator.setName('my_file_name');
  generator.generateFile();

API:

#	Method	Input / Type	Output / Type	Description
1	new TestFileGenerator(type: string, clean?: boolean)	[required] type : string [optional] name: string [optional] location: string [optional] size: number [optional] clean: boolean	TestFileGenerator object	The constructor of the object. The default values for the optional parameters are: (name = 'random', location = ''./'', size = 20, clean = false), and even though not passed in the constructor for the images is (100, 100). If you want to modify any parameter just use setter methods.
2	generateFile()	None	boolean (true if created, false otherwise)	This method generates the file with the specified parameters.
3	setLocation(location: string)	string	None	This method sets the location on which the file is going to be written.
4	setName(location: string)	string	None	This method sets the name of the file. If not specified the file will have a random name which you can get with getName().
5	setType(type: string)	string	None	This method sets the file type, currently supported (jpeg, gif, cvs and txt), lowercased.
6	setSize(size: number)	number	None	This method sets the size that the file should have, currently only works for txt and cvs file types.
6	setImageSize((x: number, y: number)	number, number	None	This method sets the size of the jpeg or gif to be generated.
7	setClean(location: string)	string	None	This method deletes the created file after creation (just for writing unit tests).
8	getLocation()	None	string	This method gets the file path.
9	getName()	None	string	This method gets the file name.
10	getSize()	None	string	This method gets the file generation setted size (only for cvs/txt).
11	getFileType()	None	string	This method gets the file type.
