❔ Testing: Is there a library that can automatically populate all properties in an object?
For integration tests I would love a mechanism that would grab an object, automatically populate all (or a subset thereof) properties with random values of the adequate type so I can create them on the database, retrieve the object back from the db and validate all properties.
I know that one can build so with reflection and some work, but I was wondering if such a library already exists.

You have to specify what values you want though
I was thinking about combining Automapper and Faker somehow. I don't know if I'll get what I need
Oh, bogus is the name of a faker like library
So that's what I was hoping to fill with Automapper post/pre map hooks. But it feels like a hack
