Faker

Generates fake data for testing or populating a development database. Run your tests with realistic data like names, emails, dates, countries...

A Java port of the Faker ruby gem. The goal was to reuse their locale data files.

Installing

repositories {

  // ...
  maven {
 url 'https://jitpack.io' 
}
 
}
  dependencies {

  compile 'com.github.blocoio:faker:1.2.5' 
}
 

You can use testCompile or androidTestCompile, if you only want to use Faker for testing.

Usage

Faker faker = new Faker();
 faker.name.firstName();

 // Returns "Aaron" faker.company.name();

// Returns "Hirthe-Ritchie"  Faker faker = new Faker("nl");
 faker.name.firstName();

 // Returns "Thijs"
