🍊 mango

Fake data generator with a juicy twist — built for speed, simplicity, and fun.
Inspired by the vibrant energy of orange cats.

---

✨ Features

• 🐾 Fast fake data generation
• 🐾 Fully written in TypeScript
• 🐾 Simple and expressive API
• 🐾 Extensible and customizable
• 🐾 ESM + CJS support
• 🐾 Multi-locale (e.g., en_US, pt_BR)

---

📦 Installation

# npm (recommended lowercase scope)
npm install @catniplabs/mango

# or pnpm
pnpm add @catniplabs/mango

---

🚀 Usage

Functional API (tree-shakeable)

import { fullName, email, pt_BR, en_US } from "@catniplabs/mango";
import { Random } from "@catniplabs/mango/core/random";

const rng = new Random(42); // seed for reproducibility

console.log(fullName(rng, pt_BR)); // e.g., "Laura Oliveira"
console.log(email(rng, en_US));    // e.g., "james.smith@example.com"

Class-based API

import { Mango, pt_BR } from "@catniplabs/mango";

const mango = new Mango({ seed: 1337, locale: pt_BR });

console.log(mango.person.fullName()); // e.g., "Ana Souza"
console.log(mango.internet.email());  // e.g., "ana.souza@exemplo.com"

🌐 Browser (CDN)

You can use Mango directly in the browser via jsDelivr or unpkg. Since browsers don't resolve bare specifiers by default, either import by full URL to the ESM file or set up an import map.

Option A — Direct URL (no import map)

Using jsDelivr:

<script type="module">
  import { Mango, pt_BR, en_US } from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@catniplabs/mango@0.1.2/dist/index.mjs";

  const mango = new Mango({ seed: 1337, locale: pt_BR, fallbackLocale: en_US });
  console.log(mango.person.fullName());
  console.log(mango.internet.email());
  console.log(mango.address.full());
</script>

Using unpkg:

<script type="module">
  import { Mango, pt_BR, en_US } from "https://unpkg.com/@catniplabs/mango@latest/dist/index.mjs";

  const mango = new Mango({ seed: 2025, locale: en_US, fallbackLocale: pt_BR });
  console.log(mango.commerce.productName());
  console.log(mango.phone.phone());
</script>

Option B — Import map (use package name in imports)

<script type="importmap">
{
  "imports": {
    "@catniplabs/mango": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@catniplabs/mango@0.1.2/dist/index.mjs"
  }
}
</script>
<script type="module">
  import { Mango, pt_BR } from "@catniplabs/mango";
  const mango = new Mango({ seed: 42, locale: pt_BR });
  document.body.innerText = mango.internet.email();
</script>

Notes:

• The CDN serves ESM with proper CORS headers, so it works in <script type="module">.
• We publish ESM (.mjs) and CJS (.cjs); for browsers, prefer the ESM URL.
• For deterministic results in the browser, use the Mango class’ seed option.

🔌 Plugin support

Mango provides a simple, strongly typed plugin system. Define a plugin with definePlugin, register it via mango.use(plugin) or fetch its API directly with mango.plugin(plugin) (auto-installs if needed).

Define and use a plugin (TypeScript)

import { definePlugin, Mango, pt_BR, en_US } from "@catniplabs/mango";
import type { Locale } from "@catniplabs/mango";

// Create a plugin exposing a typed API
const greetPlugin = definePlugin({
  name: "greet",
  install(ctx) {
    return {
      hello: () => `Hello from ${ctx.getLocale().address.states[0]?.code ?? "--"}`,
      reseed: (seed: number) => ctx.rng.seed(seed),
      setLocale: (locale: Locale) => ctx.setLocale(locale),
    };
  },
});

const mango = new Mango({ seed: 42, locale: pt_BR, fallbackLocale: en_US });

// Get the plugin API with full types (auto-installs if necessary)
const greet = mango.plugin(greetPlugin);
console.log(greet.hello());

// Alternative: register then retrieve
mango.use(greetPlugin);
const greetApi = mango.plugin(greetPlugin);
greetApi.reseed(1337);
greetApi.setLocale(en_US);

Useful public types:

• MangoPlugin<TApi> and PluginContext for strongly typed plugins
• LocaleDefinition to author custom locales/providers

Notes:

• mango.plugin(plugin) is idempotent and preserves the plugin API instance
• getLocale() returns the effective locale with fallback applied

🗺️ Roadmap

Prioritized to deliver a lightweight, realistic, extensible, and multi-environment library.

🎯 MVP (v0.1.x)

• Core RNG with seed (reproducibility)
• ESM + CJS + types (.d.ts) via tsup
• Functional API (tree-shakeable) + optional class (Mango)
• Initial locales: en_US, pt_BR
• Basic generators: person (first/last/fullName), internet.email
• Unit tests with vitest + V8 coverage
• Lint/format with Biome
• CI (build, typecheck, lint, test)

🔸 v0.2.x — Realism and coverage

• Full address (street, number, city, state, ZIP/CEP per locale format)
• phone (valid regional formats)
• date (ranges and practical utilities)
• commerce (product, price, category)
• helpers.multiple / generateMany for batch generation
• Configurable locale fallback (e.g., pt_BR → en_US)

🔶 v0.3.x — Extensibility and DX

• Plugin system (register third-party modules)
• Public types for LocaleDefinition and custom providers

🟠 v0.4.x — Quality and performance

• Benchmarks (Node and browser) and comparisons
• Optional lazy-import for locales (on-demand loading)
• Extended documentation with real-world examples and guides

🟧 v0.5.x — Data reliability

• Regional validations (e.g., ZIP/CEP, phone formats)
• Realistic correlations (area code matching city/state, etc.)
• Dataset reviewed with community contributions

🟩 v1.0.0 — Stable

• Frozen and documented API
• Documentation site with playground
• Migration guide (if needed)
• Versioning and support policy
