Dummy factory¶
This section describes how to modify the default behaviour of RedG's dummy data generation mechanism. For an explanation and a guide on how to use this mechanism, check this out.
There are two main reasons to modify or extend the existing dummy generation system:
- You want to modify the generated dummy entities
- RedG cannot generate the dummy entities for some reason
If the latter occurs, feel free to open an issue and we might try to implement support for your case.
Implement own DummyFactory¶
If you need to, you can always implement your own DummyFactory. Here are a few tips when implementing your custom factory:
- Remember to take care of all transitive dependencies.
- Abstain from using user-generated entities already within RedG as dummies. Dummies should be entities your factory generated.
- Implement
isDummycorrectly, or features like the visualization will not work properly.
public interface DummyFactory { <T extends RedGEntity> T getDummy(AbstractRedG redG, Class<T> dummyClass); boolean isDummy(RedGEntity entity); }
