Usage

Doctrine managed entities can be anonymized by annotating the properties that you want to be anonymized. There are two annotations available, @Anonymize and @AnonymizeEntity.

Anonymizing a property

Properties can be anonymized with the @Anonymize annotation like as follows:

Upon calling php bin/console anonymize:anonymize the property username will be updated to $faker->email. The faker is generated in the driver.

Anonymizing callback

Sometimes it is required that properties need an advanced or a custom way of anonymizing said entity. If a method is annotated with the @Anonymize annotation, the method is called. If you need a faker you can typehint the parameter, like in the example below:

Upon anonymizing the person, a UniqueGenerator is created for the method and the method is invoked with the generator. The username will be the same as the email, and it will be a uniquely generated email.

Excluding entities

It is possible to either skip a property, or to skip an entire object.

Skipping objects

It is either possible to blacklist an object, or to whitelist an object. The exclusions are done with a key value pair, where the key is the name of the property, and the value is either a direct match with the value, or a regex.

The inclusions are done in the same way, if one of the inclusions is matched, the object is anonymized.

In the example below, every person will be anonymized except for the people that have a username that ends with @orangert.nl.

Changing the faker locale

The default faker locale is nl_NL. To set the locale:

Unique variables

For properties like email and usernames, unique values should be used. The Anonymize property has a unique=true flag to set use the UniqueGenerator provided by the Faker library. If a callback needs the UniqueGenerator, typehint the generator with the UniqueGenerator.
