Fake

Fake is a Go package that generates fake data for you to help with development. It tris to give a simple API to access anywhere.

codecov Go Report Card License GoDoc Go.Dev

Coming from a PHP background, I like the way PHP Faker works and how easy it is to generate data such as first and last names, emails, domains, texts, etc. to bootstrap databases for development, stress-test persistence layer, etc. So this Faker is heavily based on the same API provided by PHP Faker.

Table of Contents

Installation

You can simply add the package github.com/rmsj/fake to you import section and run go mod tidy

It's still early days in development so API might change. To upgrade, or downgrade the dependency, run go get:

go get github.com/rmsj/fake@v0.0.5

Using the appropriate version number you want.

Basic Usage

Fake API, as of version 0.0.5 has data generation capability and providers for person, internet, text, lotem ipsum text and DNA sequences.

  • PersonProvider
    • for first and last names, gender, etc.
  • InternetProvider
    • for email, domain names, user names, urls, etc.
  • TextProvider
    • for "real sentences" randomized from Alice in Wonder Land.
  • DNAProvider
    • for generation of random fake DNA sequences of n length.
  • CompanyProvider
    • for generation of random fake company data.
  • ImageProvider
  • Lorem
    • generates lorem ipsum texts.
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/rmsj/fake"
)

func main() {

	f, err := fake.New()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// print random first name
	fmt.Println(f.FirstName())

	// prints random email
	fmt.Println(f.Email())
}

Data Factory

To create multiple data fo fill in databases for development for example, you can use the Factory function. The Factory function requires a specific function type (type Builder func() interface{}) and an int as second parameter - being the amount of types the operation should be repeated.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/rmsj/fake"
)

type user struct {
	firstName string
	lastName  string
	email     string
}

func main() {

	f, err := fake.New()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	builder := func() interface{} {
		return user{
			firstName: f.FirstName(),
			lastName:  f.LastName(),
			email:     f.Email(),
		}
	}

	users := f.Factory(builder, 10)
	for _, v := range users {
		u, ok := v.(user)
		if !ok {
			panic("this should not happen")
		}

		// you can use the user value as normal
		fmt.Println(u.firstName)
		fmt.Println(u.email)
	}
	
	// or for more predictable values, with deterministic mode
    f.Determistix(42)

    sameUsers := f.Factory(builder, 10)
    for _, v := range sameUsers {
      u, ok := v.(user)
      if !ok {
        panic("this should not happen")
      }
  
      // all the generated users should have the same name and email
      fmt.Println(u.firstName)
      fmt.Println(u.email)
    }
	
}

Adding Your Own Providers

The number of providers will grow over time and the idea is that you can change a specific provider by implementing the required interface with a different set of data - to have more control of what data is generated, change language, etc.

So you could implement the PersonProvider interface to have portuguese names, for example, and the basic usabe example above would look like:

package pt_provider


type PortuguesePersonProvider struct {}


func (p PortuguesePersonProvider) FirstNames() []string {
	return []string{"Manoel", "Pedro"}
}

// rest of implementation for all required methods on interface PersonProvider...

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/rmsj/fake"

	"github.com/user/project/pt_provider"
)

func main() {

	f, err := fake.New()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	
	f.SetPersonProvider(pt_provider)

	// print random first name from your list of names
	fmt.Println(f.FirstName())
}

Work In Progress

The package is a work in progress as I'm slowly adding more providers and related data generation from them.

func (Fake) RealText 

func (f Fake) RealText(maxWordCount int, prefixLen int) (string, error)

RealText generates a text string by the Markov chain algorithm.

Depending on the maxWordCount, returns a random valid looking text. The algorithm generates a weighted table with the specified number of words as the index and the possible following words as the value.// @example 'Alice, swallowing down her flamingo, and began by taking the little golden key' maxWordCount is the maximum number of characters the text should contain (minimum: 10) prefixLen determines how many words are considered for the generation of the next word. The minimum is 1, and it produces a higher level of randomness, although the generated text usually doesn't make sense. Higher index sizes (up to 5) produce more correct text, at the price of less randomness. @return string
