Parameters
Type Name Description
ISpecimenBuilder builder

The builder used to resolve the type request.
T seed

Any data that adds additional information when creating the anonymous object.
Returns
Type Description

An anonymous object.
Type Parameters
Name Description
T

The type of object to create.

Declaration
public static T Create<T>(this ISpecimenContext context, T seed)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ISpecimenContext context

The context used to resolve the type request.
T seed

Any data that adds additional information when creating the anonymous object.
Returns
Type Description
T

An anonymous object.
Type Parameters

CreateAnonymous<T>(ISpecimenContext, T)

Creates an anonymous object, potentially using the supplied seed as additional information when creating the object.

Declaration
[Obsolete("Please move over to using Create<T>() as this method will be removed in the next release", true)]
public static T CreateAnonymous<T>(this ISpecimenContext context, T seed)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ISpecimenContext context

The context used to resolve the type request.
T seed

Any data that adds additional information when creating the anonymous object.
Returns
Type Description
T

An anonymous object.
Type Parameters
Name Description
T

The type of object to create.
Remarks

Obsolete: Please move over to using Create<T>(ISpecimenContext) as this method will be removed in the next release.

CreateMany<T>(ISpecimenBuilder, T)

Creates many anonymous objects.

Declaration
public static IEnumerable<T> CreateMany<T>(this ISpecimenBuilder builder, T seed)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ISpecimenBuilder builder

The builder used to resolve the type request.
T seed

An initial value that may or may not be used as input for the algorithm creating the return value.
Returns
Type Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T>

A sequence of anonymous object of type T.
Type Parameters
Name Description
T

The type of objects to create.
Remarks

The CreateMany implementation always returns a new instance of System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T>. Even if IEnumerable<T> is Frozen by the Freeze<T>(IFixture) method or explicitly assigned with the Inject<T>(IFixture, T) method, the CreateMany method returns a new, independent instance of IEnumerable<T>.

However, you can change this behavior, for example by applying the MapCreateManyToEnumerable customization.

CreateMany<T>(ISpecimenBuilder, T, Int32)

Creates many anonymous objects.

Declaration
public static IEnumerable<T> CreateMany<T>(this ISpecimenBuilder builder, T seed, int count)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ISpecimenBuilder builder

The builder used to resolve the type request.
T seed

An initial value that may or may not be used as input for the algorithm creating the return value.
System.Int32 count

The number of objects to create.
Returns
Type Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T>

A sequence of anonymous objects of type T.
Type Parameters
Name Description
T

The type of objects to create.
Remarks

The CreateMany implementation always returns a new instance of System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T>. Even if IEnumerable<T> is Frozen by the Freeze<T>(IFixture) method or explicitly assigned with the Inject<T>(IFixture, T) method, the CreateMany method returns a new, independent instance of IEnumerable<T>.
