GoFaker

Faker is a Go package to generate fake data. It can be used for realistic test data. Inspired by Python Faker

Why use this library?

There are many faker libraries out there already. However, none of them are comprehensive, performant and easy to use. The aim of this library is to combine those things into a quick, easy to use and extensible library, using only core Golang libraries to generate the data.

Installation

go get -u github.com/AaronMulgrew/GoFaker

Usage

Simply import the library and generate a Person struct to accessible available data.

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "github.com/AaronMulgrew/GoFaker"
)

func main() {
  person := faker.GeneratePerson()
  fmt.Println(person.Names.Firstname)
  fmt.Println(person)
}

You can also view the Faker Client for a full list of available structs and other examples.
