FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package blur
Blur
Blur is a Laravel package that helps you obfuscate sensitive data in your database. It's perfect for creating anonymized copies of production databases for development and testing environments.
Features
- 🔄 Obfuscate specific tables and columns in your database
- 🧩 Use Faker to generate realistic but fake data
- 🚀 Memory-optimized for handling large datasets
- 🔍 Interactive mode to select which tables to obfuscate
- 🛠️ Customizable obfuscation strategies
- 🔒 Safety checks to prevent running in production environments
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
After installation, publish the configuration file:
Configuration
After publishing the configuration, you can find the configuration file at config/blur.php. Here's an example configuration:
Configuration Options
- tables: An array of tables to obfuscate
- columns: (Optional, can be omitted when the table needs to be cleared) The columns to obfuscate and the obfuscation method to use. Only columns that should be obfuscated need to be specified.
- chunk_size: (Optional) The number of records to process at once (default: 2000). See Performance Considerations
- keys: (Optional) The key columns to use. The key columns are discovered when obfuscating, but if that fails (for example when there are no primary keys) the unique 'key' can be specified.
- method: (Optional) The method to use for obfuscation (default: 'update', alternative: 'clear' to clear the table. This can be useful for tables like
jobsor tables that store audit logs.)
Usage
To obfuscate your database, run the following command:
⚠️ This will change records (as you configured) for the default database connection.
Interactive Mode
You can use the interactive mode to select which tables to obfuscate:
This will display a list of configured tables and allow you to select which ones to obfuscate.
Obfuscation Methods
Faker
Blur comes with built-in support for Faker. You can use any Faker method by prefixing it with faker::
Custom Obfuscators
You can create your own obfuscators by implementing the Intermax\Blur\Contracts\Obfuscator interface:
Then use it in your configuration:
Performance Considerations
Blur processes records in chunks. You can adjust the chunk_size in the configuration to balance between memory usage and performance.
