Revision history for DBIx::Class::MockData

0.02  2026-03-11

      - Makefile.PL: added provides block to META_MERGE so MetaCPAN correctly
        indexes DBIx::Class::MockData with its version.
      - README.md: corrected SYNOPSIS to use new() with a pre-connected schema
        instead of the removed schema() entry point.


0.01  2026-03-11

      First release.

      New features:
      - new() constructor accepts a connected DBIx::Class::Schema object and
        schema_dir; connection is entirely the caller's responsibility.
      - deploy()   -- creates missing tables via DBIx::Class schema deployment.
      - wipe()     -- drops all tables and redeploys from scratch (test use only).
      - generate() -- introspects all result sources, resolves FK insertion order
                      via topological sort, and inserts randomly generated rows.
      - dry_run()  -- prints generated values without touching the database.
      - All public methods return $self for call chaining.

      Data generation:
      - Values derived entirely from each column's declared data_type.
      - Contextual strings for varchar/text columns matched on column name
        (email, slug, title, status, url, etc.).
      - Unique and PK columns salted with a per-run random value to prevent
        cross-run constraint violations.
      - Optional seed argument for fully reproducible output.

      CLI tool:
      - script/dbic-mockdata with --schema-dir, --namespace, --dsn, --deploy,
        --wipe, --dry-run, --rows, --seed, --verbose, --help.

      Test suite:
      - t/01-basic.t  -- unit tests with inline schema.
      - t/02-schema.t -- integration tests against t/lib/TestSchema
                         (Author -> Book -> Review FK chain).
      - t/03-cli.t    -- subprocess tests for the CLI script via IPC::Open3.
