Generate Mock Expense Data

Please generate additional mock expense data entries for the BudgetWise finance tracking application. The data should follow the existing structure in the backend MockData.cs or frontend mockData.ts.

Instructions

1. How many new expense entries would you like to add to the mock data? (Please specify a number)

Data Structure Reference

Backend (C#)

Each expense entry should include:

new Expense
{
    Id = Guid.NewGuid(),
    UserId = "demo-user-001",
    Description = "Descriptive name",
    Amount = 127.50m,
    Category = "Category name",
    Date = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-X),
    Notes = "Optional notes",
    CreatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow,
    UpdatedAt = null
}

Frontend (TypeScript)

Each expense entry should include:

{
  id: uuidv4(),
  userId: 'demo-user-001',
  description: 'Descriptive name',
  amount: 127.50,
  category: 'Category name',
  date: new Date(Date.now() - X * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString(),
  notes: 'Optional notes',
  createdAt: new Date().toISOString(),
  updatedAt: undefined
}

Requirements

• Each entry should have unique IDs (use Guid.NewGuid() for C# or uuidv4() for TypeScript)
• Use realistic expense categories from BudgetWise:
  • Food & Dining
  • Transportation
  • Shopping
  • Entertainment
  • Bills & Utilities
  • Healthcare
  • Travel
  • Personal Care
  • Education
  • Other
• Include diverse expense descriptions that match the category
• Use realistic amounts (range: {{arg5}} - $500 for most, $500-$2000 for bills/rent)
• Include dates within the last 60 days
• Include optional notes for some entries (not all)
• All expenses should use userId "demo-user-001"

Example Entries

C#

new Expense
{
    Id = Guid.NewGuid(),
    UserId = "demo-user-001",
    Description = "Grocery shopping at Whole Foods",
    Amount = 127.50m,
    Category = "Food & Dining",
    Date = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-3),
    Notes = "Weekly groceries",
    CreatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-3),
    UpdatedAt = null
},
new Expense
{
    Id = Guid.NewGuid(),
    UserId = "demo-user-001",
    Description = "Gas - Shell Station",
    Amount = 45.00m,
    Category = "Transportation",
    Date = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-5),
    Notes = null,
    CreatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-5),
    UpdatedAt = null
}

TypeScript

{
  id: uuidv4(),
  userId: 'demo-user-001',
  description: 'Grocery shopping at Whole Foods',
  amount: 127.50,
  category: 'Food & Dining',
  date: new Date(Date.now() - 3 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString(),
  notes: 'Weekly groceries',
  createdAt: new Date(Date.now() - 3 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString()
},
{
  id: uuidv4(),
  userId: 'demo-user-001',
  description: 'Gas - Shell Station',
  amount: 45.00,
  category: 'Transportation',
  date: new Date(Date.now() - 5 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString(),
  createdAt: new Date(Date.now() - 5 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString()
}

Please provide the number of entries you'd like to generate and specify whether you want C# or TypeScript format, and I'll help create new mock data that matches these requirements.
