Java Faker

This library is a port of Ruby's stympy/faker gem (as well as Perl's Data::Faker library) that generates fake data. It's useful when you're developing a new project and need some pretty data for showcase.

Usage

In pom.xml, add following between <dependencies> ... </dependencies>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.javafaker</groupId>
    <artifactId>javafaker</artifactId>
    <version>0.8</version>
</dependency>

For gradle users, add the following to your build.gradle file.

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    testCompile group: 'com.github.javafaker', name: 'javafaker', version: '0.8'
}

In your Java code

Faker faker = new Faker();

String name = faker.name().fullName(); // Miss Samanta Schmidt
String firstName = faker.name().firstName(); // Emory
String lastName = faker.name().lastName(); // Barton

String streetAddress = faker.address().streetAddress(); // 60018 Sawayn Brooks Suite 449

How to build

1. Make sure Apache Maven 3 is installed. ($ mvn --version)
2. $ mvn package

TODO

1. Add regexify method so we can just use the en.yml from faker as is
2. Port more classes over as there are more entries in the yml file that we don't have classes for
