The extension adds an additional CLI command to Magento 2 that allows to generate sample entities:

• Products
• Categories
• Customers
• Orders

It might be useful if you are going to test your store or a separate implementation with big amount of data.

• Put the package contents to the app/code directory
• Clean Magento cache using built in CLI command ./bin/magento cache:clean
• Enable the extension ./bin/magento module:enable Atwix_Samplegen

Use the following CLI commands to generate the sample entities:

./bin/magento samplegen:generate:products --count 1000
./bin/magento samplegen:generate:categories --count 1000
./bin/magento samplegen:generate:orders --count 1000
./bin/magento samplegen:generate:customers --count 1000

To remove the generated entities use the same command with --removeall 1 parameter:

./bin/magento samplegen:generate:products --removeall 1
