Peteshow

a customizable javascript framework for filling out forms with fake data

Getting Started

See the Wiki on GitHub for documentation.

Also specific pages for frameworks:

Ruby on Rails

API

`Peteshow.init()`

Adds the seen above menu to the top left of your page. Press backtick ` to toggle the menu.

`Peteshow.fillOutForms()`

Using the default rules, fills out inputs, checkboxes, selects, and radio buttons. While the menu is open, press f to call this method.

`Peteshow.fillOutFormsAndSubmit()`

Does the same as above, but also submits the form. Press q to call this method.

It also has several other methods exposed:

Methods	Description
`submitForm()`	Submits the form on the page, can be customized
`destroy()`	Removes the Peteshow menu from the dom
`hide()`	Hides the Peteshow menu
`show()`	Shows the Peteshow menu
`formatDate(format, Date)`	Returns a string with the specified format
`randomChars(length, chars)`	Returns a string made up of specific characters
`randomDate(format)`	Returns a random date string
`randomEmail()`	Returns a random email, customized using init options
`randomLetters(length)`	Returns random letters
`randomNumber(length)`	Returns a random number, you can pass an optional prefix
`randomNumberRange(min,max)`	Returns a number between `min` and `max`

To access the stored values used in the reuse option, use Peteshow.storage:

Methods	Description
`storage.clear()`	Clears saved fields from cookies and localstorage
`storage.get()`	Prints out the saved fields used in the `reuse` option
`storage.set(hash)`	Sets either cookie or localstorage, takes a hash

Default options

Peteshow can be customized by creating a custom plugin. Here are the default options:

options = {
  emailPrefix : 'test-',
  emailDomain : 'example.com',
  form        : '',
  blur        : false,
  cookies     : false,
  rules       : {},
  ignore      : [],
  filter      : [],
  force       : {},
  reuse       : {},
  commands    : '',
  special     : function(){},
  events      : function(){},
}
$(function() {
  Peteshow.init(options)
})

Name	Description
`emailPrefix`	Prefix for your generated email addresses. Random numbers are added to the end
`emailDomain`	The domain for your generated email addresses
`form`	The selector of the form/forms you want to be filled out, defaults to last form on page
`blur`	Triggers blur() event after filling out an input
`cookies`	Store saved fields (from reuse) in cookies rather than localStorage
rules	A hash of selectors to values that you want to be used when filling out forms. It ignores hidden inputs
special	Called after the rules are applied and can include custom javascript
ignore	An array of input IDs you wish to have fill out forms ignore
force	Similar to rules, but can be used for hidden inputs
filters	Filters out options from select boxes
reuse	Define input selectors to be saved and reused on certain URLs
events	Used in the off chance you need to add extra javascript on Peteshow's init
