## Usage
-Simply define a fixgen file, for example sample.fixgen
-
-```
-user (2): id uuidv4, name name, email email
-purchase (10): id uuidv4, buyer user.id, amount int(1,40)
-```

-And then run it
+Fixgen makes it simple to generate fixtures. It comes with a tiny DSL:
```sh
-$ fixgen sample.fixgen -f csv -o fixtures
+$ fixgen 'user (2): id uuidv4, name name; purchase (10): id uuidv4, buyer user.id, amount int<1,40>, currency: ("USD","MXN")' -o fixtures
```
-Or just generate in-line:
+This will generate two files:
-```sh
-$ fixgen "user (2): id uuidv4, name name; purchase (10): id uuidv4, buyer user.id, amount int<1,40>

-For it to generate two files with fake relational data: fixtures/purchase.csv, fixtures/user.csv. Bam! Simple as that.
+- fixtures/user.csv, will have two rows containing id and name
+- fixtures/purchase.csv, will have ten rows containing id, buyer (which will reference ids from user!), amount, currency.
You can then import it into your SQL server with simple copy from commands
