Manual
Download the package and use the dist/fakerator.js or the dist/fakerator.min.js file in your project.
Usage
Browser
<script src="https://rawgit.com/icebob/fakerator/master/dist/fakerator.js"></script>
<script>
var fakerator = Fakerator();
var name = fakerator.names.name();
var user = fakerator.entity.user();
</script>
NodeJS
var Fakerator = require("fakerator");
var fakerator = Fakerator("de-DE");
var name = fakerator.names.name();
// Result: 'Dr. Marcus Drechsler'
Shortly
var fakerator = require("fakerator")("hu-HU");

Localization
The library supports localizations. You can set the locale code in constructor.
Usage
// Use default (English) localization
var fakerator = Fakerator();
console.log(fakerator.names.name());
// Floyd Corkery
// Use german
var fakerator = Fakerator("de-DE");
console.log(fakerator.names.name());
// Hassan vom Kumbernuss
// Use russian
var fakerator = Fakerator("ru-RU");
console.log(fakerator.names.name());
// Альберт Валентинович Архипов
In production, you can load only a specific locale:
// Use french
var fakeratorFR = require("fakerator/locales/fr-FR")();
console.log(fakeratorFR.names.name());
// Dufour Camille

Times
You can generate array of items with times and utimes (unique) functions.
First parameter is the generator function. Second is the length of array.
You can pass further parameters, they will be passed to the generator function.
Usage
// Generate 3 names
fakerator.times(fakerator.names.name, 3);
// [ "Ross Hansen", "Thomas Pfeffer", "Alexis Hauck I" ]
// Generate 5 username with populate where first name must be 'John'
fakerator.times(fakerator.populate, 5, "#{internet.userName}", "John");
// [ 'john.langosh8341', 'john12', 'john.howe5075', 'john_jerde', 'john.grant9923' ]
// Generate 5 number from 1 to 10
fakerator.times(fakerator.random.number, 5, 1, 10);
// [ 10, 8, 1, 8, 5 ]
// Note: 8 is twice!
// Generator 5 UNIQUE number from 1 to 10
fakerator.utimes(fakerator.random.number, 5, 1, 10);
// [ 10, 2, 9, 6, 1 ]
// Note: every number is unique!
Templates
You can also generate fake data with templates:
fakerator.populate("#{names.name}")
// Ross Hansen
fakerator.populate("#{address.street}")
// 0662 Ferry Drive
fakerator.populate("Hi, my name is #{names.name}. I was born in #{address.city}, #{address.country}. I am #{date.age} years old.")
// Hi, my name is Mrs. Rufus Shanahan. I was born in Hilpertton, Denmark. I am 44 years old.
Replace symbols
The populate replace # symbol to a random number and ? symbol to a random letter.
fakerator.populate("#{names.firstName}-###-???")
// Mandy-802-oqs
