A faker-based generator for Shopify sample data, forked from @davefreiman. Created for use with gatsby-source-shopify.
Images are randomly requested from Unsplash and are copyright the individual photographers.
Make sure you have the Faker gem installed:
gem install faker
Run the script with an argument specifying how many products you want. It will generate three variants per product, so if you request 20 products it will generate 60 SKUs:
ruby faker_script.rb 20
The shopify_data.csv file will be generated in the project root directory. All you have to do is navigate to https://<shopifystore.com>/admin/products and find the "Import" button. Then select the generated file and boom - Your store now has dummy data.
The examples directory includes pre-generated files for 100 and 30,000 SKUs. These are not the direct output from the script, but have been imported and then re-exported from a Shopify store. This means that all images are pre-imported and have cdn.shopify.com URLs.
