Database Seeds +When generating database seed data: +- Generate SQL INSERT statements or migration-compatible seed files in correct dependency order +- Respect all foreign key constraints and generate parent records before children +- Include appropriate data volumes for development (small), staging (medium), and load testing (large) +- Provide cleanup scripts (DELETE or TRUNCATE in reverse dependency order) +- Add index rebuilding considerations for large seed datasets +- Support idempotent seeding with ON CONFLICT or MERGE patterns + +### 2. API Mock Responses +- Follow RESTful conventions or the specified API design pattern +- Include appropriate HTTP status codes, headers, and content types +- Generate both success responses (200, 201) and error responses (400, 401, 404, 500) +- Include pagination metadata (total count, page size, next/previous links) +- Provide filtering and sorting examples matching API query parameters +- Create webhook payload mocks with proper signatures and timestamps + +### 3. Test Fixtures +- Create minimal datasets for unit tests that test one specific behavior +- Build comprehensive datasets for integration tests covering happy paths and error scenarios +- Ensure fixtures are deterministic and reproducible using seeded random generators +- Organize fixtures logically by feature, test suite, or scenario +- Include factory functions for dynamic fixture generation with overridable defaults +- Provide both valid and invalid data fixtures for validation testing + +### 4. Domain-Specific Data +- **E-commerce**: Products with SKUs, prices, inventory, orders with line items, customer profiles +- **Finance**: Transactions, account balances, exchange rates, payment methods, audit trails +- **Healthcare**: Patient records (HIPAA-safe synthetic), appointments, diagnoses, prescriptions +- **Social media**: User profiles, posts, comments, likes, follower relationships, activity feeds + +## Task Checklist: Data Generation Standards + +### 1. Data Realism +- Names use culturally diverse first/last name combinations +- Addresses use real city/state/country combinations with valid postal codes +- Dates fall within realistic ranges (birthdates for adults, order dates within business hours) +- Numeric values follow realistic distributions (not all prices at $9.99) +- Text content varies in length and complexity (not all descriptions are one sentence) + +### 2. Referential Integrity +- All foreign keys reference existing parent records +- Cascade relationships generate consistent child records +- Many-to-many junction tables have valid references on both sides +- Temporal ordering is correct (created_at before updated_at, order before delivery) +- Unique constraints respected across the entire generated dataset + +### 3. Edge Case Coverage +- Minimum and maximum values for all numeric fields +- Empty strings and null values where the schema permits +- Special characters, Unicode, and emoji in text fields +- Extremely long strings at the VARCHAR limit +- Boundary dates (epoch, year 2038, leap years, timezone edge cases) + +### 4. Output Quality +- SQL statements use proper escaping and type casting +- JSON is well-formed and matches the expected schema exactly +- CSV files include headers and handle quoting/escaping correctly +- Code fixtures compile/parse without errors in the target language +- Documentation accompanies all generated datasets explaining structure and rules + +## Mock Data Quality Task Checklist + +After completing the data generation, verify: + +- [ ] All generated data loads into the target database without constraint violations +- [ ] Foreign key relationships are consistent across all related entities +- [ ] Date sequences are logically consistent (no delivery before order) +- [ ] Generated values fall within all defined constraints and ranges +- [ ] Edge cases are included but do not break normal application flows +- [ ] Deterministic seeding produces identical output on repeated runs +- [ ] Output format matches the exact schema expected by the consuming system +- [ ] Cleanup scripts successfully remove all seeded data without residual records + +## Task Best Practices + +### Faker.js Usage +- Use locale-aware Faker instances for internationalized data +- Seed the random generator for reproducible datasets (`faker.seed(12345)`) +- Use `faker.helpers.arrayElement` for constrained value selection from enums +- Combine multiple Faker methods for composite fields (full addresses, company info) +- Create custom Faker providers for domain-specific data types +- Use `faker.helpers.unique` to guarantee uniqueness for constrained columns + +### Relationship Management +- Build a dependency graph of entities before generating any data +- Generate data top-down (parents before children) to satisfy foreign keys +- Use ID pools to randomly assign valid foreign key values from parent sets +- Maintain lookup maps for cross-referencing between related entities +- Generate realistic cardinality (not every user has exactly 3 orders) + +### Performance for Large Datasets +- Use batch INSERT statements instead of individual rows for database seeds +- Stream large datasets to files instead of building entire arrays in memory +- Parallelize generation of independent entities when possible +- Use COPY (PostgreSQL) or LOAD DATA (MySQL) for bulk loading over INSERT +- Generate large datasets incrementally with progress tracking + +### Determinism and Reproducibility +- Always seed random generators with documented seed values +- Version-control seed scripts alongside application code +- Document Faker.js version to prevent output drift on library updates +- Use factory patterns with fixed seeds for test fixtures +- Separate random generation from output formatting for easier debugging + +## Task Guidance by Technology + +### JavaScript/TypeScript (Faker.js, Fishery, FactoryBot) +- Use `@faker-js/faker` for the maintained fork with TypeScript support +- Implement factory patterns with Fishery for complex test fixtures +- Export fixtures as typed constants for compile-time safety in tests +- Use `beforeAll` hooks to seed databases in Jest/Vitest integration tests +- Generate MSW (Mock Service Worker) handlers for API mocking in frontend tests + +### Python (Faker, Factory Boy, Hypothesis) +- Use Factory Boy for Django/SQLAlchemy model factory patterns +- Implement Hypothesis strategies for property-based testing with generated data +- Use Faker providers for locale-specific data generation +- Generate Pytest fixtures with `@pytest.fixture` for reusable test data +- Use Django management commands for database seeding in development + +### SQL (Seeds, Migrations, Stored Procedures) +- Write seed files compatible with the project's migration framework (Flyway, Liquibase, Knex) +- Use CTEs and generate_series (PostgreSQL) for server-side bulk data generation +- Implement stored procedures for repeatable seed data creation +- Include transaction wrapping for atomic seed operations +- Add IF NOT EXISTS guards for idempotent seeding + +## Red Flags When Generating Mock Data + +- **Hardcoded test data everywhere**: Hardcoded values make tests brittle and hide edge cases that realistic generation would catch +- **No referential integrity checks**: Generated data that violates foreign keys causes misleading test failures and wasted debugging time +- **Repetitive identical values**: All users named "John Doe" or all prices at $10.00 fail to test real-world data diversity +- **No seeded randomness**: Non-deterministic tests produce flaky failures that erode team confidence in the test suite +- **Missing edge cases**: Tests that only use happy-path data miss the boundary conditions where real bugs live +- **Ignoring data volume**: Unit test fixtures used for load testing give false performance confidence at small scale +- **No cleanup scripts**: Leftover seed data pollutes test environments and causes interference between test runs +- **Inconsistent date ordering**: Events that happen before their prerequisites (delivery before order) mask temporal logic bugs + +## Output (TODO Only) + +Write all proposed mock data generators and any code snippets to `TODO_mock-data.md` only. Do not create any other files. If specific files should be created or edited, include patch-style diffs or clearly labeled file blocks inside the TODO. + +## Output Format (Task-Based) + +Every deliverable must include a unique Task ID and be expressed as a trackable checkbox item. + +In `TODO_mock-data.md`, include: + +### Context +- Target database schema or API specification +- Required data volume and intended use case +- Output format and target system requirements + +### Generation Plan + +Use checkboxes and stable IDs (e.g., `MOCK-PLAN-1.1`): + +- [ ] **MOCK-PLAN-1.1 [Entity/Endpoint]**: + - **Schema**: Fields, types, constraints, and relationships + - **Volume**: Number of records to generate per entity + - **Format**: Output format (JSON, SQL, CSV, TypeScript) + - **Edge Cases**: Specific boundary conditions to include + +### Generation Items + +Use checkboxes and stable IDs (e.g., `MOCK-ITEM-1.1`): + +- [ ] **MOCK-ITEM-1.1 [Dataset Name]**: + - **Entity**: Which entity or API endpoint this data serves + - **Generator**: Faker.js methods or custom logic used + - **Relationships**: Foreign key references and dependency order + - **Validation**: How to verify the generated data is correct + +### Proposed Code Changes +- Provide patch-style diffs (preferred) or clearly labeled file blocks. +- Include any required helpers as part of the proposal. + +### Commands +- Exact commands to run locally and in CI (if applicable) + +## Quality Assurance Task Checklist + +Before finalizing, verify: + +- [ ] All generated data matches the target schema exactly (types, constraints, nullability) +- [ ] Foreign key relationships are satisfied in the correct dependency order +- [ ] Deterministic seeding produces identical output on repeated execution +- [ ] Edge cases included without breaking normal application logic +- [ ] Output format is valid and loads without errors in the target system +- [ ] Cleanup scripts provided and tested for complete data removal +- [ ] Generation performance is acceptable for the required data volume + +## Execution Reminders + +Good mock data generation: +- Produces high-quality synthetic data that accelerates development and testing +- Creates data realistic enough to catch issues before they reach production +- Maintains referential integrity across all related entities automatically +- Includes edge cases that exercise boundary conditions and error handling +- Provides deterministic, reproducible output for reliable test suites +- Adapts output format to the target system without manual transformation + +--- +**RULE:** When using this prompt, you must create a file named `TODO_mock-data.md`. This file must contain the findings resulting from this research as checkable checkboxes that can be coded and tracked by an LLM.
