About transformers

Transformers in Greenmask are methods which are applied to anonymize sensitive data. All Greenmask transformers are split into the following groups:

• Dynamic parameters — transformers that require an input of parameters and generate random data based on them.
• Transformation engines — the type of generator used in transformers. Hash (deterministic) and random (randomization)
• Parameters templating — generate static parameters values from templates.
• Parameters env vars interpolation — inject environment variable values into transformer parameters at dump time.
• Transformation conditions — conditions that can be applied to transformers. If the condition is not met, the transformer will not be applied.
• Transformation Inheritance — transformation inheritance for partitioned tables and tables with foreign keys. Define once and apply to all.
• Standard transformers — transformers that require only an input of parameters.
• Advanced transformers — transformers that can be modified according to user's needs with the help of custom functions.
• Custom transformers — coming soon...
