## Description

EasyCommerce FakerPress generates realistic test data for EasyCommerce stores. It
creates dummy products, orders, customers, coupons and ten other record types on
demand, so you can build, test and demo a store that looks real without typing a
single product by hand.

It is a developer tool for local, staging and demo sites. It is not meant for production
stores.

Point it at a generator, set how many records you want, and click Generate. A live
preview shows exactly what the run will produce before anything is written to your
database.

**Sample data is optional and consent-based.** The plugin can download locale-specific
reference data (product names, addresses and tags for 75+ locales) from GitHub to
make generated content more realistic. This never happens automatically — it runs
only after you accept a one-time consent prompt on the plugin’s admin page, transmits
no data about your site, and can be declined without losing any functionality (generators
fall back to built-in defaults). You can change the decision at any time from Settings.

**What it generates**

Fourteen generators, covering the records an EasyCommerce store actually holds:

 * Products — pricing, categories, inventory, attributes and variations
 * Customers — profiles with addresses, demographics and purchase history
 * Orders — complete order histories with payments, shipping and tax
 * Coupons — discount codes with rules, usage limits and restrictions
 * Product Variations — variable attributes, price variance and stock settings
 * Shipping Plans — methods, zones and rate tables
 * Tax Classes — tax rules by region and product type
 * Transactions — payment records across multiple gateways and statuses
 * Cart Sessions — abandoned cart scenarios and session data
 * Attributes — Text, Color and Image attribute types for variations and filtering
 * Refunds — refunds against existing completed or processing orders
 * Logs — activity entries for orders, products, customers and system events
 * Locations — countries, states and cities
 * Product Reviews — ratings linked to real products and customers

**Why the data holds together**

Generated records are created through EasyCommerce’s own models rather than by writing
rows directly to the database. Validation, relationships and inventory changes all
run exactly as they would for a real order. That means orders link to genuine customers
and products, refunds attach to orders that can actually be refunded, and reviews
belong to products that exist.

FakerPHP supplies the names, addresses and text, layered with commerce-specific 
logic for pricing, geography and customer lifecycle. Optional sample data sync adds
locale-specific product names and addresses for 75+ locales.

**Built for repeatable testing**

 * Live preview — see real generated rows before committing anything
 * Seeds — reuse a seed to reproduce an identical dataset on demand
 * Batch queue — line up several generators and run them in sequence
 * Run history — per-generator log with all-time stats on the dashboard
 * Locales — generate region-appropriate data for 75+ locales
 * Light and dark themes, five accent palettes, keyboard-driven command palette

**For developers**

 * 15+ filters and actions for customising data before and after creation
 * 14 REST controllers under the `easycommerce-fakerpress/v1` namespace
 * Abstract generator classes you can extend with your own generators
 * 131 Playwright end-to-end tests

Key hooks:

 * `easycommerce_fakerpress_*_data_before_create` — change generated data before
   it is created
 * `easycommerce_fakerpress_after_*_created` — react once an item exists
 * `easycommerce_fakerpress_*_generation_result` — reshape what a run returns
 * `easycommerce_fakerpress_rest_response` — filter REST API responses

**Important:** this plugin writes large volumes of fake data into your store. Use
it on development or staging sites only, and back up your database before generating
large datasets.

### External services

This plugin connects to two external services. Neither is contacted on activation,
and no personal or store data is ever transmitted.

**1. GitHub — sample data repository**

When you first open the plugin admin page, a consent prompt offers to download locale-
specific reference data (product names, addresses, customer tags for 75+ locales)
used to make generated content more realistic. The same download is available any
time from the “Sample Data Sync” action on the Settings page.

Service: GitHub
 Endpoint: [https://github.com/mralaminahamed/easycommerce-fakerpress-sample-data/archive/refs/heads/trunk.zip](https://github.com/mralaminahamed/easycommerce-fakerpress-sample-data/archive/refs/heads/trunk.zip)
When data is sent: Only after an administrator allows it — either by accepting the
sample-data consent prompt shown on the plugin admin page, or by clicking “Sync 
now” on the plugin Settings page. No download happens until consent is given, and
no data about your site is transmitted. Data sent: An unauthenticated HTTP GET request.
No site, user, or store data is included — only the request itself (and the IP address
and user agent inherent to any HTTP request). Terms of Service: [https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service](https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service)
Privacy Policy: [https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement](https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement)

**2. WordPress.org — plugin directory API**

The “Our Plugins” admin page lists the plugin author’s other WordPress.org plugins
with live ratings and install counts.

Service: WordPress.org Plugin Directory API
 Endpoint: [https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.2/](https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.2/)
When data is sent: Only when an administrator opens the “Our Plugins” page in the
plugin admin. The request is made by the browser. Data sent: A query for plugins
by the author “mralaminahamed”. No site, user, or store data is included — only 
the request itself (and the IP address and user agent inherent to any HTTP request).
Terms of Service: [https://wordpress.org/about/](https://wordpress.org/about/) Privacy
Policy: [https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/](https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/)

### Source code

The minified JavaScript and CSS in `build/` is compiled from the TypeScript and 
CSS sources in `src/`, which are not included in the distributed plugin package.
The complete, human-readable source is public:

[github.com/mralaminahamed/easycommerce-fakerpress](https://github.com/mralaminahamed/easycommerce-fakerpress)

Build steps:

    ```
    composer install
    yarn install
    yarn build
    ```

Build tooling: webpack (via @wordpress/scripts), TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Configuration
files (`webpack.config.js`, `tsconfig.json`, `postcss.config.js`) are in the repository
root.**Privacy**

All generated data is stored in your own WordPress database and is never transmitted
anywhere. Generated content is fictional and does not represent real individuals
or transactions. The plugin does not collect analytics, does not phone home, and
does not send any site, user, or store data to a third party.

The plugin makes two outbound requests, both administrator-initiated and both carrying
no site data — see the “External services” section for the full disclosure.

## FAQ

### How do I generate dummy products for an EasyCommerce store?

Open EC FakerPress in your WordPress admin, choose the Products generator, set how
many products you want, and click Generate. The preview table shows sample rows 
before you commit. The same flow applies to every other generator.

### Does this work with WooCommerce?

No. This plugin generates data for [EasyCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easycommerce/)
only, and WordPress will not let it activate unless EasyCommerce is installed and
active. It does not create WooCommerce products, orders or customers.

### Is it safe to run on a live site?

No. Use it on development, staging or demo sites only. It writes large volumes of
fictional records directly into your store, and there is no one-click undo. Back
up your database before any large run.

### How do I delete the test data afterwards?

Use the WordPress or EasyCommerce bulk deletion tools. For large datasets, targeted
database queries against a backup are faster. The plugin does not currently ship
a bulk delete feature, which is the main reason to keep it off production.

### Can I generate the same data twice?

Yes. Set a seed value in the run bar and the same seed always produces the same 
dataset. This is what makes generated data usable in automated tests and reproducible
bug reports.

### How realistic is the generated data?

Names, addresses and text come from FakerPHP, combined with commerce-specific logic
for pricing strategies, geographic distribution and customer lifecycle patterns.
Turning on sample data sync adds locale-specific product names and reference data
for 75+ locales.

### Can orders be linked to real customers and products?

Yes. Orders attach to existing customers and products and adjust inventory as they
are created. Refunds require existing completed or processing orders, and product
reviews link to products and customers that already exist.

### Can I change the data before it is saved?

Yes. The plugin exposes 15+ filters and actions. Use `easycommerce_fakerpress_*_data_before_create`
to alter values before creation, or extend the abstract generator classes to add
a generator of your own.

### What is sample data sync?

An optional download of locale-specific reference data — product names, customer
tags, addresses — from the companion GitHub repository. It makes generated content
read more naturally in non-English locales. It runs only when you ask for it, and
sends no data about your site.

### Where is the run history stored?

In your browser’s localStorage, not your database. Clearing it has no effect on 
generated records. You can clear it from the Danger Zone on the Settings page.

## Changelog

The four most recent releases are listed below. For the complete version history,
see the [full changelog on GitHub](https://github.com/mralaminahamed/easycommerce-fakerpress/blob/trunk/CHANGELOG.md).

#### 2.4.0 – July 22, 2026

 * Sample data now downloads automatically after a one-time consent prompt shown
   on the plugin admin page — it explains what is fetched, transmits no site data,
   and offers built-in defaults if declined; the decision is site-wide and changeable
   from Settings
 * Security: sample-data archives are validated before extraction, rejecting absolute
   paths and `..` traversal segments so a crafted archive cannot write outside the
   sample-data directory
 * Accent colours no longer drift towards pink in highlights, badges and hover states

#### 2.3.0 – July 20, 2026

 * Order generation no longer fails for customers whose address was saved at checkout—
   a stored address came back in a shape the generator rejected, and the whole batch
   stopped instead of skipping one item
 * Generated orders are now spread over a configurable date range instead of all
   landing on today, so the EasyCommerce date-range reports have data to show
 * Generated orders carry the address, tax and shipping meta EasyCommerce reads,
   so they render complete in the admin
 * Aligned generated statuses, attributes, tax classes, coupon rules and shipping
   tiers with the current EasyCommerce database schema
 * A run where every item failed now reports why, instead of claiming success with
   zero items created
 * Headings follow the active theme, fixing unreadable page titles in dark mode
 * Live preview shows up to 25 rows and scrolls within its own card
 * New brand mark, refreshed WordPress.org icon and banners
 * Minimum WordPress version corrected to 6.6, and compatibility declared with WordPress
   7.0
 * Removed a deprecation notice raised for every generated field

#### 2.2.0 – June 11, 2026

 * Complete admin UI redesign on a new design-token system — light/dark themes, 
   5 accent palettes, and comfortable/compact density, all scoped so WordPress chrome
   is never restyled
 * New dashboard with stat cards, sparklines and a recent-activity feed driven by
   real run history
 * Live preview — real faker rows rendered before anything is written, re-rollable
   with Shuffle
 * Command palette (Cmd/Ctrl+K), batch queue, and a redesigned generator page with
   a sticky run bar
 * Refreshed brand assets and a recolorable admin menu icon

#### 2.1.0 – April 26, 2026

 * Three new generators — Attributes, Refunds and Logs, bringing the total to 14
 * Run history with per-generator logs and all-time dashboard stats
 * Settings page — default count, locale, seed, metadata toggle, and run-history
   limit
 * Sample data sync for locale-specific reference data across 75+ locales
 * Playwright end-to-end suite — 131 tests across all generators and field types
 * Component architecture reworked; parameter config centralised in generators.ts
