Builder package

[audrenbdb]

Hey,

At our company we are using sqlboiler a lot and it is great.

For our tests, we often needed to generate random struct with random populated data.

Code size growing, and amount of tables as well, I made a code generator that run after the sqlboiler generator, to create a struct with random populated properties.

It is using the builder pattern.

Syntax example :
builder.NewProduct().WithQty(5)

Is it something that would be relevant to propose for the sqlboiler project ? Has such thing been discussed before ?

I'd be happy to contribute should this be desirable.

Looks like what you're looking for is boilingfactory

I created this cause I needed this too. There may be some rough edges, it's been a while since I used it.
It should be possible to include this directly in SQLBoiler, because the meat of it is some additional templates.

EDIT: It seems you have your own version of a factory, which also includes randomizing fields by default.
That is pretty nice! It may be better than boilingfactory, or perhaps there are things to combine from both projects.
