Question

I need a random object generator in JavaScript that generates a variety of objects with different fields and values. Any ideas where I can find such tool?

I need to generate random objects with various complexity.. My goal is to use JSON in order to serialize these objects and fuzz test my application http api.

Answer 1

function createRandomObj(fieldCount, allowNested)
{
    var generatedObj = {};

    for(var i = 0; i < fieldCount; i++) {
        var generatedObjField;

        switch(randomInt(allowNested ? 6 : 5)) {

            case 0:
            generatedObjField = randomInt(1000);
            break;

            case 1:
            generatedObjField = Math.random();
            break;

            case 2:
            generatedObjField = Math.random() < 0.5 ? true : false;
            break;

            case 3:
            generatedObjField = randomString(randomInt(4) + 4);
            break;

            case 4:
            generatedObjField = null;
            break;

            case 5:
            generatedObjField = createRandomObj(fieldCount, allowNested);
            break;
        }
        generatedObj[randomString(8)] = generatedObjField;
    }
    return generatedObj;
}

// helper functions

function randomInt(rightBound)
{
    return Math.floor(Math.random() * rightBound);
}

function randomString(size)
{
    var alphaChars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
    var generatedString = '';
    for(var i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        generatedString += alphaChars[randomInt(alphaChars.length)];
    }

    return generatedString;
}

It will create a obj with X paramenters, all with a integer, float, string, boolean or null value.
I just made it :B
