@bigstickcarpet/mock-data NPM

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

npm install @bigstickcarpet/mock-data
