Install
wp package install git@github.com:nlemoine/wp-cli-fixtures.git
Requires PHP ^7.3
.
Usage
Create fixtures
At the root of your project, create a fixtures.yml
file (you can download it here):
# # USERS # Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\User: user{1..10}: user_login (unique): <username()> # '(unique)' is required user_pass: 123456 user_email: <safeEmail()> user_url: <url()> user_registered: <dateTimeThisDecade()> first_name: <firstName()> last_name: <lastName()> description: <sentence()> role: <randomElement(['subscriber', 'editor'])> meta: phone_number: <phoneNumber()> address: <streetAddress()> zip: <postcode()> city: <city()> acf: facebook_url: <url()> twitter_url: <url()> # # ATTACHMENTS # Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\Attachment: default (template): # templates can be extended to keep things DRY post_title: <words(2, true)> post_date: <dateTimeThisDecade()> post_content: <paragraphs(5, true)> images{1..15} (extends default): file: <image(<uploadDir()>, 1200, 1200, 'cats')> # <uploadDir()> is required, image() is the default faker provider and gets images from lorempixel. pics{1..15} (extends default): file: <picsum(<uploadDir()>, 1200, 1200)> # Alternatively we provide a picsum() provider which uses picsum for images. It's quicker but doesn't support image categories. documents{1..2} (extends default): file: <fileIn('relative/path/to/pdfs')> custom_images{1..10} (extends default): file: <fileIn('relative/path/to/images')> # # TERMS # Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\Term: category{1..10}: name (unique): <words(2, true)> # '(unique)' is required description: <sentence()> parent: '50%? <termId(childless=1)>' # 50% of created categories will have a top level parent category taxonomy: 'category' # could be skipped, default to 'category' tag{1..40}: name (unique): <words(2, true)> # '(unique)' is required description: <sentence()> taxonomy: post_tag places{1..4}: # custom taxonomy name (unique): <words(2, true)> # '(unique)' is required description: <sentences(3, true)> taxonomy: place acf: address: <streetAddress> zip: <postcode()> city: <city()> image: '@custom_images*->ID' # # POSTS # Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\Post: # TEMPLATE default (template): post_title: <words(2, true)> post_date: <dateTimeThisDecade()> post_content: <paragraphs(5, true)> post_excerpt: <paragraphs(1, true)> meta: _thumbnail_id: '@attachment*->ID' # POSTS post{1..30} (extends default): # 'meta' and 'meta_input' are basically the same, you can use one or both, # they will be merged, just don't provide the same keys in each definition meta: _thumbnail_id: '@attachment*->ID' meta_input: _extra_field: <paragraphs(1, true)> post_category: '3x @category*->term_id' # post_category only accepts IDs tax_input: post_tag: '5x @tag*->term_id' # post_tag: '5x <words(2, true)> # Or tags can be dynamically created # PAGES page{contact, privacy}: post_title: <current()> post_type: page # CUSTOM POST TYPE product{1..15}: post_type: product acf: # number field price: <numberBetween(10, 200)> # gallery field gallery: '3x @attachment*->ID' # oembed field video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E90_aL870ao # link field link: url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E90_aL870ao title: <words(2, true)> target: _blank # repeater field features: - label: <words(2, true)> value: <sentence()> - label: <words(2, true)> value: <sentence()> - label: <words(2, true)> value: <sentence()> # layout field blocks: - acf_fc_layout: text_image title: <words(4, true)> content: <sentences(8, true)> image: '@attachment*->ID' - acf_fc_layout: image_image image_left: '@attachment*->ID' image_right: '@attachment*->ID' # # COMMENTS # Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\Comment: comment{1..50}: comment_post_ID: '@post*->ID' user_id: '@user*->ID' comment_date: <dateTimeThisDecade()> comment_author: <username()> comment_author_email: <safeEmail()> comment_author_url: <url()> comment_content: <paragraphs(2, true)> comment_agent: <userAgent()> comment_author_IP: <ipv4()> comment_approved: 1 comment_karma: <numberBetween(1, 100)> # 'meta' and 'comment_meta' are basically the same, you can use one or both, # they will be merged, just don't provide the same keys in each definition comment_meta: some_key: <sentence()> meta: another_key: <sentence()> # # NAV MENUS # Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\NavMenu: header: name: header locations: - header - footer # # NAV MENUS ITEMS # Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\NavMenuItem: custom_menu: menu_item_url: <url()> menu_item_title: <words(4, true)> menu_id: '@header->term_id' categories{1..3}: menu_item_object: '@category*' menu_id: '@header->term_id' posts{1..3}: menu_item_object: '@post*' menu_id: '@header->term_id' page: menu_item_object: '@page*' menu_id: '@header->term_id'
The example above will generate:
- 10 users
- 15 attachments
- 10 categories
- 40 tags
- 30 posts with a thumbnail, 3 categories and 5 tags
- 10 pages
- 15 custom post types named 'product'
- 50 comments associated with post and user
- 1 nav menu
- 6 nav menu items
IMPORTANT: Make sure referenced IDs are placed BEFORE they are used.
Example: Term
or Attachment
objects must be placed before Post
if you're referencing them in your fixtures.
Load fixtures
wp fixtures load
You can also specify a custom file by using the --file
argument:
wp fixtures load --file=data.yml
Delete fixtures
wp fixtures delete
You also can delete a single fixture type:
wp fixtures delete post
Valid types are post
, attachment
, comment
, term
, user
.
Add fake data to existing content
wp-cli-fixtures
allows you to add/update content to existing entities by passing the ID as a constructor argument.
Add/update data to post ID 1:
Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\Post: my_post: __construct: [1] # Pass your post ID as the constructor argument post_title: '<sentence()>' post_content: '<paragraphs(5, true)>' post_excerpt: '<paragraphs(1, true)>'
Add/update data to 10 random existing posts:
Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\Post: post{1..10}: __construct: [<postId()>] # Use a custom formatters to return a random post ID as the constructor argument post_title: '<sentence()>' post_content: '<paragraphs(5, true)>' post_excerpt: '<paragraphs(1, true)>'
Entities
Post
Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\Post
can take any parameters available in wp_insert_post
+ meta
and acf
key.
Note: post_date_gmt
and post_modified_gmt
have been disabled, there are set from post_date
and post_modified
.
Attachment
Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\Attachment
can take any parameters available in wp_insert_attachment
+ meta
, file
and acf
custom keys.
Note: parent
must be passed with post_parent
key.
Term
Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\Term
can take any parameters available in wp_insert_term
+ meta
and acf
custom keys.
Note: term
and taxonomy
must be respectively passed with name
and taxonomy
key.
User
Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\User
can take any parameters available in wp_insert_user
+ meta
and acf
custom keys.
Comment
Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\Comment
can take any parameters available in wp_insert_comment
+ meta
custom key.
comment_date_gmt
has been disabled, it is set from comment_date
.
Nav menu
Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\NavMenu
is a term just like Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\Term
. It takes an addiotional locations
parameter to set the menu location.
Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\NavMenu: header: name: header locations: - header
Nav menu item
Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\NavMenuItem
takes the same parameters as $menu_item_data
in wp_update_nav_menu_item
Note 1: replace dashes with underscore in keys (e.g. menu-item-object
becomes menu_item_object
).
Note 2: menu-item-object
can also accept an entity object, if so, menu-item-type
and menu-item-object-id
will be filled automatically with appropriate values
ACF Support
Each ACF supported entity (post, term, user) can have an acf
key, which works just like meta
.
Hellonico\Fixtures\Entity\Post: post{1..30}: post_title: <words(3, true)> post_date: <dateTimeThisDecade()> acf: # number field number: <numberBetween(10, 200)> # repeater field features: - label: <words(2, true)> value: <sentence() - label: <words(2, true)> value: <sentence()> - label: <words(2, true)> value: <sentence()>
Be careful with duplicate field keys, if you have multiple field with the same key, prefer using ACF field key (field_948d1qj5mn4d3
).
Custom formatters
In addition to formatters provided by fzaninotto/Faker, you can use custom formatters below.
postId($args)
Returns a random existing post ID.
$args
is optional and can take any arguments from get_posts
Example:
<postId(category=1,2,3)>
attachmentId($args)
Returns a random existing attachment ID.
$args
is optional and can take any arguments from get_posts
Example:
<attachmentId(year=2016)>
termId($args)
Returns a random existing term ID.
$args
is optional and can take any arguments from get_terms
Example:
<termId(taxonomy=post_tag)>
userId($args)
Returns a random existing user ID.
$args
is optional and can take any arguments from get_users
Example:
<userId(role=subscriber)>
fileContent($file)
Returns the content of a file.
Example:
<fileContent('path/to/file.html')>
fileIn($src, $target, false)
Wrapper around file provider because some Faker providers conflicts with PHP native . Returns file path or file name in a directory ($src
relative to fixtures.yml
).
Default target is the WordPress uploads
.
Example:
<fileIn('my/set/of/images')>
Tips
While playing with fixtures, the database command package can be useful to reset database faster than wp fixtures delete
and start over.
