This repo has been pulled together to be a place to assemble fake data to use for testing of backend projects. This repo uses the npm package @faker-js/faker
The faker functions have been broken down into their respective js files in the fakerZone to generate data for backend testing at scale.
If you get lost at any point, please refer to the official documentation here @faker-js/faker
Install dependencies
npm i
faker & fs are the main things you need for this repo to work
Glance over the fakerZone dir to check out some of the functionality available from faker and a get a grasp for the syntax of the functions
Head to functionGenerator.js inside the main directory and build your own createRandomUser(). Some examples have already been provided 🚀
Once you have selected your fakeFunctions and the number of randomUsers you want to generate, run node functionGenerator.js. Once this has been run, go to file.json where all of your fake data will be held. This will not be formatted so remember to format the document to get a more appealing visual on the data 👀
Enjoy! 🙂
