generate massive amounts of fake data in Dart & Flutter

Faker.dart is a dart port of the famous faker.js package for the web and NodeJS

🔨 Usage

faker.dart is split up into modules, where every module has a bunch of faker methods.

Basics

    final faker = Faker.instance;

    String randomName = faker.name.fullName(); // Rowan Nikolaus
    String randomHex = faker.datatype.hexaDecimal(); // 0xF74451AB

Faker.fake()

faker.dart contains a super useful generator method Faker.fake for combining faker API methods using a mustache string format.

Example:

print(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()

💬 Localization

faker.dart currently supports 54 Locales!!!

The default language locale is set to English. if your chosen locale doesn't support specific faker data, it will fall back to the English locale.

// sets locale to german
faker.setLocale(FakerLocaleType.de);
// set the locale to your custom Locale:
final FakerLocale locale = FakerLocale(...);
faker.setCustomLocale(locale);
