This is a WordPress plugin that adds several WP-CLI commands for generating fake WooCommerce data. It's still in its early days and as such doesn't yet offer coupon generating, more complicated order generating and refund generating.
Make sure you run composer install within the plugin's directly before actually using it.
You'll also need to run wp cyclone seed before you can generate products. More on that below.
wp cyclone seed [--type=<type>]
Seeds the product data for WC Cyclone to use, which pretty much means downloading a lot of Unsplash images. You can optionally set the type to be books or food (books by default).
wp cyclone unsplash
Set the Unsplash APP Id for WC Cyclone to use. In case you don't want to use WC Cyclone's Unsplash application. You can create the app on Unsplash's website.
wp cyclone products <amount> [--type=<type>]
<amount> is required and should be integer # of products to generate. Note that the example data included doesn't really have more than a couple hundred unique items, so if were to generate several hundred/thousand products, they'd likely have the same name/images (but different prices, SKUs, etc.).
You can also set the type here. By default it's books but can also be food.
wp cyclone customers <amount> [--from=<from>]
Generate customers. <amount> is an integer # of customers to generate.
The from option lets you define the # of days in the past customers should be generated from. It's a random date used, but this lets it be a random date x days ago. By default it's 180.
wp cyclone orders <amount> [--from=<from>]
Generate orders. <amount> is an integer # of orders to generate.
The from option lets you define the # of days in the past orders should be generated from. It's a random date used, but this lets it be a random date x days ago. By default it's 180.
Don't just sit there watching it generate data! You can have it run as a background job. Simply append & and optionally prepend the command with nohup (to generate a log). For example:
wp cyclone orders 100000 &
or...
nohup wp cyclone orders 100000 &
Scheduled/cron-powered generating, so you can have data generated on a random, but consistent basis.
Contributions are definitely welcomed and encouraged. Please feel free to open a PR with any changes you think should be made.
