using Noundry.Tuxedo.Cufflink;
using Noundry.Tuxedo;
// Define your model
public class Customer
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }

}
// Generate fake data
var generator = new CufflinkGenerator();
var customers = generator.Generate<Customer>(100);
// Insert into database using Tuxedo
using var db = new TuxedoContext(connectionString);
await db.InsertAsync(customers);public class Order
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public int CustomerId { get; set; } // FK to Customer
public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; }
public decimal Total { get; set; }
}
// Cufflink automatically detects FK relationships
var generator = new CufflinkGenerator(connectionString);
// Generate customers first
generator.GenerateAndInsert<Customer>(50);
// Generate orders - CustomerId will reference existing customers
generator.GenerateAndInsert<Order>(200);
Console.WriteLine("✓ Generated 50 customers and 200 orders with valid relationships");# Generate data for a specific table
