Mock Data

Mock data for sample apps, demos, and POCs

Features

• No dependencies
• Tested in Node, IO.js, and all modern web browsers on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android
• 100 mock employees, with names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.
• 100 mock projects, with names, dates, departments, employees assigned, etc.
• Full-size and thumbnail photos for each employee
• All data follows logical rules:
  • Usernames, SSNs, addresses, etc. are unique
  • Birthdates, hire dates, and termination dates are in proper chronological order
  • Employee roles "make sense" (e.g. "full time" and "part time" are mutually exclusive)
  • Employees are only assigned to projects in their own department
  • Employees are only assigned to projects that occurred during their employment

Installation & Usage

Node

Install via NPM:

npm install @bigstickcarpet/mock-data

The mock data can be used as plain JSON or as JavaScript arrays of objects.

Raw JSON

var employeeJSON = require('@bigstickcarpet/mock-data/employees.json');
employeeJSON.forEach(function(employee) {
  console.log(employee.dob);    // string (in ISO 8601 zulu format)
});

JavaScript Objects

mockData.employees.forEach(function(employee) {
