NAME

Acme::CPANModules::RandomData - List of modules for generating random (fake, mock) data

VERSION

This document describes version 0.004 of Acme::CPANModules::RandomData (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-RandomData), released on 2023-04-10.

DESCRIPTION

Data::Random generates random number, random generated word, random dictionary word (default wordlist provided), date (in YYYY-MM-DD format), time (in HH::MM:SS format), datetime, image (just a blank PNG with random size and background color).

Data::Maker can generate realistic fake data including IP address, email, password, person (first name, middle name, last name, SSN). It focuses on performance (200 records/sec number is cited).

Data::Faker is yet another moduxsle, with plugins to generate company name, person name, date/time, phone number, street address, domain/IP/email/username.

Mock::Data can generate several types of mock data including number, UUID, IP/hostname/email, date/time, text.

Mock::Populate in non-plugin-based, can generate random image, string, name, date/time.

Faker is another plugin-based random data generator. The included plugins can generate random street address, color, company name, company jargon/tagline, buzzwords, IP address, email address, domain name, text ("lorem ipsum ..."), credit card number, phone number, software name, username. However, some plugins are currently empty. The name plugin contains 3007 first names and 474 last names (probably copied from Data::Faker). There is no option to pick male/female names.

Other: Text::Lorem.

For more specific types of random data (person, password, etc), see other lists mentioned in the See Also section.

Keywords: random data, fake data, mock data.

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details.

What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?

% cpanm-cpanmodules -n RandomData

Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution):

% cpanmodules ls-entries RandomData | cpanm -n

or Acme::CM::Get:

% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=RandomData -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::RandomData -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::RandomData::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
