faker.js - generate massive amounts of fake data in the browser and node.js Demo: https://cdn.rawgit.com/Marak/faker.js/master/examples/browser/index.html Hosted API Microservice http://faker.hook.io Supports all Faker API Methods Full-Featured Microservice Hosted by hook.io curl http://faker.hook.io?property=name.findName&locale=de Usage Browser <script src = "faker.js" type = "text/javascript"></script> <script> var randomName = faker.name.findName(); // Caitlyn Kerluke var randomEmail = faker.internet.email(); // Rusty@arne.info var randomCard = faker.helpers.createCard(); // random contact card containing many properties </script> Node.js var faker = require('faker'); var randomName = faker.name.findName(); // Rowan Nikolaus var randomEmail = faker.internet.email(); // Kassandra.Haley@erich.biz var randomCard = faker.helpers.createCard(); // random contact card containing many properties API Faker.fake() faker.js contains a super useful generator method Faker.fake for combining faker API methods using a mustache string format. Example console.log(faker.fake("{{name.lastName}}, {{name.firstName}} {{name.suffix}}")); // outputs: "Marks, Dean Sr." This will interpolate the format string with the value of methods name.lastName(), name.firstName(), and name.suffix() JSDoc API Browser http://marak.github.io/faker.js/ API Methods address zipCode city cityPrefix citySuffix streetName streetAddress streetSuffix streetPrefix secondaryAddress county country countryCode state stateAbbr latitude longitude commerce color department productName price productAdjective productMaterial product company suffixes companyName companySuffix catchPhrase bs catchPhraseAdjective catchPhraseDescriptor catchPhraseNoun bsAdjective bsBuzz bsNoun database column type collation engine date past future between recent month weekday fake finance account accountName mask amount transactionType currencyCode currencyName currencySymbol bitcoinAddress iban bic hacker abbreviation adjective noun verb ingverb phrase helpers randomize slugify replaceSymbolWithNumber replaceSymbols shuffle mustache createCard contextualCard userCard createTransaction image image avatar imageUrl abstract animals business cats city food nightlife fashion people nature sports technics transport dataUri internet avatar email exampleEmail userName protocol url domainName domainSuffix domainWord ip ipv6 userAgent color mac password lorem word words sentence slug sentences paragraph paragraphs text lines name firstName lastName findName jobTitle prefix suffix title jobDescriptor jobArea jobType phone phoneNumber phoneNumberFormat phoneFormats random number arrayElement objectElement uuid boolean word words image locale alphaNumeric system fileName commonFileName mimeType commonFileType commonFileExt fileType fileExt directoryPath filePath semver Localization As of version v2.0.0 faker.js has support for multiple localities. The default language locale is set to English. Setting a new locale is simple: // sets locale to de faker.locale = "de"; az cz de de_AT de_CH en en_AU en_BORK en_CA en_GB en_IE en_IND en_US en_au_ocker es es_MX fa fr fr_CA ge id_ID it ja ko nb_NO nep nl pl pt_BR ru sk sv tr uk vi zh_CN zh_TW Individual Localization Packages As of vesion v3.0.0 faker.js supports incremental loading of locales. By default, requiring faker will include all locale data. In a production environment, you may only want to include the locale data for a specific set of locales. // loads only de locale var faker = require('faker/locale/de'); Setting a randomness seed If you want consistent results, you can set your own seed: faker.seed(123); var firstRandom = faker.random.number(); // Setting the seed again resets the sequence. faker.seed(123); var secondRandom = faker.random.number(); console.log(firstRandom === secondRandom); Tests npm install . make test You can view a code coverage report generated in coverage/lcov-report/index.html.
