This is a Swift port of Ruby's Faker library that generates fake data.

Are you still bothered with meaningless randomly character strings? Just relax and leave this job to Fakery. It's useful in all the cases when you need to use some dummy data for testing, population of database during development, etc.

NOTE: Generated data is pretty realistic, supports a range of locales, but returned values are not guaranteed to be unique.

Usage

import Fakery

let faker = Faker(locale: "nb-NO")

let firstName = faker.name.firstName()  //=> "Emilie"
let lastName = faker.name.lastName()    //=> "Hansen"
let city = faker.address.city()         //=> "Oslo"

Localization

Fakery is quite powerful when it comes to generation of locale-specific data. In Resources/Locales you can find JSON files for more than 20 locales, and, of course, it's not a limit. Feel free to contribute and add more!

The default locale is English. When you use one of the available generators and the corresponding key is not found in a JSON file for the currently selected locale Fakery will also check if it exists in "en.json" file.
