generate massive amounts of fake data in Node.js and the browser

README¶ ↑

This README would normally document whatever steps are necessary to get the application up and running.

Things you may want to cover:

• Ruby version

• System dependencies

• Configuration

• Database creation

• Database initialization

• How to run the test suite

• Services (job queues, cache servers, search engines, etc.)

• Deployment instructions

• …

Please feel free to use a different markup language if you do not plan to run rake doc:app.

faker.js's Issues

Change Faker.js to faker.js

It's time to stop the capitalization. It's bad practice.

Upper case not working

Uppercase Name returns undefined while lowercase name works fine

Duplicate?

It seems odd to publish a fork of someone else's module to npm with the same name, albeit capitalized. What is the difference between this fork and the source?

Also, this fork doesn't appear to have been updated in the last year. Would it make sense to remove it from npm?

Date.past, Date.future generators

Is this repo still active?

Is this repo still active? I am quite impressed with this and want to use it in one of our projects.

Can you please deprecate or update your repo to match the one on NPM?

Hey,

I'd like to say thanks for writing Faker. It has been great!

That being said, I'd like to ask you to deprecate or keep your repo up to date to match Marak's.

Your faker repo is the first one that pops up on Google. It's very misleading considering it's not the same faker we use on npm and judging by the issues, it throws a lot of folks off.

Considering it hasn't been updated in 2 years, can you please do the community a favor and add a large redirect / deprecation notice?

Thank you!

Are you looking for a maintainer?

I see the repo is a little bit left beside, i can help you with that (:

Suggestion: Transactional/Invoice Data

Understanding that providing transactional data is much more difficult, I would love to see something like this. It would probably take some base data with different types of transactions (like retail, services, etc). Being able to generate fake invoice data would be great.

Update readme

Update NPM

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please use the (lowercase) 'faker' package from now on.

We should update how to install Faker on NPM so that it is npm install faker, not npm install Faker.

Random gender info - male / female option please!

This one would be a good add
faker.Sex.gender() to get either Male or Female as String.

Build.js sucks we need a better way.
