Example use case

Let's assume you have a design like below and you wanna create ListView for this. But you don't have data currently. You just developing frontend.

import makefake from 'makefake'

let userList = makefake({
  _type: 'array',
  _length: 100,
  _content: {
    "name": {
      _type: 'string',
      _source: makefake.nameSurname
    },
    "profilePicture": {
      _type: 'photo'
    },
    "isOnline": {
      _type: 'boolean',
      _truePossibilityPercent: 70
    },
    "username": {
      _type: 'string',
      _source: makefake.username,
      _formatter: (data) => '@' + data
    }
  }
});

This codes produces an array contain one hundred different user object like that:

[
  {
    name: "Marion Croghan",
    profilePicture: "https://picsum.photos/400/400/?key=0&random",
    isOnline: true,
    username: "@reappearpackage"
  },
  {
    name: "Yuonne Magdaleno",
    profilePicture: "https://picsum.photos/400/400/?key=1&random",
    isOnline: false,
    username: "@apacheemm"
  }
  ...
];

It's just a simple use case. Let's see Features and Documentation to understand what you can do with this library.

Features

Random data creating MakeFake can create any primitive and non-primitive data like array or object randomly that contains other primitive or non-primitive data types. Basic data structure Define your data structure as same result object. Custom data formatting MakeFake allows intervention to editing data during creating.

Data types

String

Arguments: _source: array, _charset: string or array, _length: number, _formatter: function(data, content)

import makefake from  'makefake'

let namesArray = ["Mahmut", "Brain", "Elizabeth"];
makefake({
  _type: 'string',
  _source: namesArray
}) // Result (Random):  "Mahmut"

/* There are couple of predefined data model for _source:
   makefake.nameSurname: contains name and surname.
   makefake.username: contains random usernames.
   makefake.word: contains english words.
   makefake.language: contains languages.
   makefake.paragraph: contains paragraphs.
   makefake.sentence: contain sentences.  
*/

makefake({
  _type: 'string',
  _source: makefake.nameSurname
}) // Result (Random result in makefake.nameSurname array): 'Willie Heppner'

makefake({
  _type: 'string',
  _length: 10,
  _charset: 'a-z'
}) // Result (Random): "qwekjaskdj" 

// You can set _character to 'a-Z', 'A-Z', '0-9', 'Symbol' 
// You can set _character to custom characters like "abcd1234". 

// You can set _character to custom char code range like that.
makefake({
  _type: 'string',
  _length: 5,
  _charset: [48, 57]
}) // Result (Random): 34512

// Or you can set multiple character sets like that 
makefake({
  _type: 'string',
  _length: 5,
  _charset: ["customcharacters1234", 'a-Z', [48, 57]]
}) // Result (Random): Z1ctMs

// use _formatter to edit produced data
makefake({
  _type: 'string',
  _source: ['username'],
  _formatter: (data, content) => '@' + data
}) // Result (Exactly): @username

Number

Arguments: _max: number, _min: number, _float: boolean, _index: boolean, _formatter: function(data, content)

import makefake from  'makefake'

makefake({
  _type: 'number'
  // default _max is 100,
  // default _min is 0,
}) // Result (Random): 11

makefake({
  _type: 'number',
  _min: 2000,
  _max: 2020,
}) // Result (Random): 2019

makefake({
  _type: 'number',
  _min: 10,
  _max: 100,
  _float: true,
  _formatter: (data, content) => data.toFixed(2)
}) // Result (Random): 40.39

makefake({
  _type: 'array',
  _length: 10,
  _content: {
    _type: 'number',
    _index: true,
  }
}) // Result (Exactly): [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ]

makefake({
  _type: 'array',
  _length: 10,
  _content: {
    // number defination start
    _type: 'number',
    _formatter: (data, content) => content.getParam('index') * 2
    // number defination end
  },
  _formatter: (data, content) => data.reverse()
}) // Result (Exactly): [ 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 ]

/*
What is happening here?
In 'number' defination _formatter gives a 'content' argument
represents number's parent, in this case parent is array,
and every array has a 'index' param represents current array
index.

In 'array' defination _formatter gives a data argument
represents array data. We just reversed it.
*/

Boolean

Arguments: _truePossibilityPercent: number, _formatter: function (data, content) _truePossibilityPercent is number between 0 and 100.

import makefake from  'makefake'

makefake({
  _type: 'boolean',
  _truePossibilityPercent: 100
}) // Result (Exactly): true

makefake({
  _type: 'boolean',
  _truePossibilityPercent: 0
}) // Result (Exactly): false

makefake({
  _type: 'boolean',
  _truePossibilityPercent: 49
}) // Result (Random): true

Array

Arguments: _length: number, _content: object

makefake({
  _type: 'array',
  _length: 10,
  _content: {
    _type: 'boolean',
    _formatter: (data, content) => content.getParam('index') % 2 === 0
  }
}) // Result (Exactly) [ true, false, true, false, true, false, true, false, true, false ]

Object

Arguments: No argument

import makefake from  'makefake'

// create car object
makefake({

    _type: 'boolean',
    _formatter: (data, content) => {
      return content.getData().price > 40000
