This reusable OutSystems component provides dynamically generated Lorem Ipsum dummy text based on user-defined criteria: bytes, words, sentences, or paragraphs. It is particularly useful for developers and testers who need placeholder text during development or prototyping.
The UI is responsive and styled with standard OutSystems themes, leveraging proper validations for required fields.
The logic for generating the dummy text is delegated to an Extension Module (created in Integration Studio) written in C#.
LoremIpsumDummyTextGenerator.xif
This extension includes the following public C# methods, each exposed as a server action in OutSystems:
GenerateBytes
QuantityOfBytes
Text
GenerateWords
QuantityOfWords
GenerateSentences
QuantityOfSentences
GenerateParagraphs
QuantityOfParagraphs
Each method internally uses C# logic to build a valid, properly formatted Lorem Ipsum text block. The extension likely relies on a static list of base words and formatting rules to construct natural-looking results.
