Filling forms full of required fields by hand is tedious. Understudy does it for you, with values that look real.
Two ways to fill
- Fill: on the create form, populate every field with a realistic value in one click. An email field gets an email, a price gets a money amount, a city gets a place name, an enum gets one of its members, a date gets a recent date, and nested objects and arrays are filled too.
- Generate records: on a resource, bulk-create a batch of realistic records, so you have data to browse, page through and link to.
How it picks good values
The choice of value is driven by the field's name and type together. A text field called email becomes an email address, a numeric price becomes money, an enumeration yields one of its allowed values, and composite fields fill their children. The result reads like real data, not string string string.
