faker

Faker is a pure Elixir library for generating fake data.


Requirements

  • OTP 19+
  • Elixir 1.6+

Troubleshooting

  • If you get a message like the one below when you call Faker.Address.city/0, you need to add :faker to your application’s mix file, in the applications function, as above.

    ** (FunctionClauseError) no function clause matching in Faker.Address.city_count/1
    lib/faker/address.ex:48: Faker.Address.city_count(nil)
    lib/faker/address.ex:41: Faker.Address.city/0
    

Tools

Faker was designed as a lightweight library, that’s why it can be easily used with other tools.

Templating

You can build templates for testing purposes with the Blacksmith project. See the Blacksmith readme for details.

Team

Faker was originally written by Igor Kapkov.
