Faker

Faker is pure Haskell library for generating fake data.

  “It comes in very handy for taking screenshots (taking screenshots for my project,
  Catch the Best was the original impetus for the creation of this gem),
  having real-looking test data, and having your database populated with more
  than one or two records while you're doing development.”
