AutoPoco v0.2 Released

Published on 2010-4-7

I've added some features to AutoPoco to make it actually functional

Configuration can now be done automatically:

IGenerationSessionFactory factory = AutoPocoContainer.Configure(x =>
{
    x.Conventions(c =>
    {
        c.UseDefaultConventions();
    });
    x.AddFromAssemblyContainingType<SimpleUser>();
});

As to start with, meaningful data isn't always required - just non-nulls and sensible defaults.

Collections can now be created with controlled content, for example:

            mSession.List<SimpleUser>()
                .Random(5)
                    .Impose(x => x.FirstName, "Bob")
                .Next(5)
                    .Impose(x => x.FirstName, "Alice")
                .All()
                .First(5)
                    .Impose(x => x.LastName, "Blue")
                .Next(5)
                    .Impose(x => x.FirstName, "Red")
                .All()
                .Get();

Will create a table of data looking something like:

# First Name Last Name
0 Bob Blue
1 Alice Blue
2 Alice Blue
3 Bob Blue
4 Bob Blue
5 Alice Red
6 Bob Red
7 Alice Red
8 Bob Red
9 Alice Red

Obviously these simple examples are only the beginning, I've also written some documentation for the existing features + new features over at the codeplex site:

I'll be using AutoPoco to generate a ridiculous amount of test data for one of our systems in the coming weeks, so I'll no doubt discover any shortcomings and rectify them, in the mean-time feel free to ask for things in the discussons forum at the Codeplex site (or in the comments here)
