Laravel Data Anonymization

• This is a bridge package for a full integration of arrilot/data-anonymization into Laravel framework.

Installation

1. composer require arrilot/laravel-data-anonymization, _(*2)

2. Add "Database\\Anonymization\\": "database/anonymization/", to composer.json -> autoload -> psr-4, _(*3)

3. php artisan anonymization:install, _(*4)

Usage

The package is designed to be as much consistent with Laravel built-in seeders as possible., _(*5)

Bootstrapping

php artisan anonymization:install creates two files:, _(*6)

1) database/anonymization/DatabaseAnonymizer.php, _(*7)

<?php

namespace Database\Anonymization;

use Arrilot\LaravelDataAnonymization\AbstractAnonymizer;

class DatabaseAnonymizer extends AbstractAnonymizer
{
    /**
     * Run the database anonymization.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        $this->call(UserTableAnonymizer::class);
    }
}

2) database/anonymization/UserTableAnonymizer.php, _(*8)

<?php

namespace Database\Anonymization;

use Arrilot\DataAnonymization\Blueprint;
use Arrilot\LaravelDataAnonymization\AbstractAnonymizer;
use Faker\Generator as Faker;

class UsersAnonymizer extends AbstractAnonymizer
{
    /**
     * Run the database anonymization.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        // For more info about this part read here https://github.com/arrilot/data-anonymization
        $this->table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {

            $table->column('email')->replaceWith(function(Faker $faker) {
                return $faker->unique()->email;
            });

            $table->column('name')->replaceWith('John Doe');
        });
    }
}

DatabaseAnonymizer is an entry point into anonymization. It runs other anonymizers. UsersAnonymizer is a useful built-in example. You can modify it and create other anonymizers for other tables using generator., _(*9)

Generator command

php artisan make:anonymizer AccountsAnonymizer. Similar to make:seeder, _(*10)

Running the anonymization

Anonymization is performed using php artisan db:anonymize command. Its signature is identical with db:seed command., _(*11)
