  # First, you should specify +root models+ and their +constraints+ to limit the number of dumped records:
  # This is like Forum.where(featured: true).all
  config.root('Forum', featured: true) do |root|
    # It's possible to remove some associations from dumping with pattern of association path to exclude
    #
    # Association path is a dot-delimited string of association chain starting from model itself:
    # example: "forum.users.questions"
    root.exclude(/\btracking_pixels\b/, 'forum.popular_questions')

    # It's possible to limit the number of included into dump has_many and has_one records for every association
    # Note that belongs_to records for all not excluded associations are always dumped to keep referential integrity.
    root.limit_associations_size(100)

    # Or for certain association only
    root.limit_associations_size(10, 'forum.questions')
  end

  # Everything you can pass to +where+ method will work as constraints:
  config.root('User', 'created_at > ?', Time.current.beginning_of_day - 1.day)

  # For some system-wide models you may omit constraints to dump all records
  config.root("Role") do |root|
    # Exclude everything
    root.exclude(/.*/)
  end

  # Transformations allows you to change dumped data e. g. to hide sensitive information
  config.customize("User") do |u|
    # Reset password for all users to the same for ease of debugging on developer's machine
    u["encrypted_password"] = encrypt("qwerty")
    # Reset or mutate other attributes at your convenience
    u["metadata"].merge!("foo" => "bar")
    u["created_at"] = Time.current
    # Please note that there you have only hash of record attributes, not the record itself!
  end

  # Anonymization is a handy DSL for transformations allowing you to transform model attributes in declarative fashion
  # Please note that model setters will NOT be called: results of the blocks will be assigned to
  config.anonymize("User") do
