DatabaseAnonymizer

A database anonymizer for Rails 4+

Put this line in your Gemfile:

gem 'database_anonymizer'

Then bundle:

$ bundle

Create config/database_anonymizer/whitelist.yml by:

$ bin/rails generate database_anonymizer:install

Then, only string or text type column table structures are created.

See below sample config/database_anonymizer/whitelist.yml file.

'User':
# name:
  email:
    anonymized_by: User.anonymize_email
# address:
# tel:
  remarks:
    anonymized_by: nil
# comment:

if a column is commented out, the column will be replaced by asterisks.

Default asterisks size is 8.

If validate_length_of is present, the number of asterisks size may not be 8. For details, see the method asterisk_length at lib/database_anonymizer/metamorphosis.rb.

If a column needs a specific anonymizer, remove #, and add anonymized_by: Model.anonymize_method. You have to define your own anonymize method.

If a column don't need to be asteriskized or anonymized, remove #, and add anonymized_by: nil.

Finally, run below rake task:

$ RAILS_ENV=TARGET_ENV bin/rake database_anonymizer:execute

If RAILS_ENV is production,bin/rake database_anonymizer:execute fails.
