System Transformers
Introduction
Neosync comes out of the box with 40+ system transformers in order to give you an easy way to get started with anonymizing or generating data. There are two kinds of system transformers:
- Generators - these begin with
generate_
and do not anonymize existing data. They only generate net-new synthetic data. - Transformers - these begin with
transform_
and can anonymize existing data or generate new-new synthetic data based on how you configure it.

Depending on your validations, you may want to configure the output phone number. Here are the configurations for the transform string phone number transformer.
Name | Description | Default | Example Input | Example Output |
---|---|---|---|---|
Include hyphens | Includes hyphens in the output phone number. Note that this config can only be used with default 10 digit phone numbers. | false | 9238724378 | 290-374-8675 |
PreserveLength | Preserve Length will ensure that the output phone number is the same length as the input phone number. | false | 892387243786243 | 290374867526392 |
Examples
There are several ways you can mix-and-match configurations to get different potential phone number formats. Here are some possible combinations:
PreserveLength | Include Hyphens | Example Input | Example Output |
---|---|---|---|
false | false | 2890923784 | 5209273239 |
false | true | 2890923784 | 520-927-3239 |
true | false | 289092378423 | 520927323239 |

---|---|---|---|---|
Preserve Length | Preserves the length of the input integer to the output string. | false | hello | 9Fau3 |
Examples

---|---|---|
false | bill | je7R6 |
true | lorem | i1NMe |
Passthrough

Configurations
There are no configurations for the null transformer.
Examples
Here are some examples of what an output null value may look like.
Example Input | Example Output |
