Script purpose: to generate a json db schema file of all the sObjects you are using in your front-end app and accessing via the Salesforce REST API. Once json db schema file is generate, create fake data using it.

Script execution:

• run a script in the terminal

• when the script starts, ask for

  • instance url
  • token

• once entered, ask for each sObject they'd like described

• use curl to get json described data

• go through each described sObject and ask the user which fields they'd like.

• get each sObject and requested fields and create a massive JSON object that maps the sObjects from parent to child if needed.

• generate a single json file (the db schema).

• with the single json file, run it through faker to create fake data.

  • there needs to be a way to detect if there is a relationship field to then generate a file or files, then generate children of children files if necessary.

• get the generated fake data and use json-server

  • JSON Server is a Node module, running an Express server, that let's you specify a JSON file to act as a data source for your mock REST API.
