ABSTRACT

Extensible Fake Data Generator

SYNOPSIS

  package main;

  use Faker;

  my $f = Faker->new;

DESCRIPTION

This package provides generates fake data for you. Whether you need to bootstrap your database, create good-looking XML documents, fill-in your persistence to stress test it, or anonymize data taken from a production service, Faker makes it easy to generate fake data.

INTEGRATES

This package integrates behaviors from:

Data::Object::Role::Pluggable

Data::Object::Role::Proxyable

Data::Object::Role::Throwable

Faker::Maker

LIBRARIES

This package uses type constraints from:

Types::Standard

SCENARIOS

This package supports the following scenarios:

autoloading

  package Faker::Plugin::FileExt;

  use Data::Object::Class;
  use Data::Object::ClassHas;

  has 'faker';

  sub execute {
    'video/mpeg'
  }

  package main;

  use Faker;

  my $f = Faker->new;

  $f->_file_ext

This package supports the auto-loading of plugins, which means that anyone can create non-core plugins (fake data generators) and load and control them using Faker.

autoloading-under

  package Faker::Plugin::JaJp::PersonName;

  use Data::Object::Class;
  use Data::Object::ClassHas;

  has 'faker';

  sub execute {
    '鈴木 陽一'
  }

  package main;

  use Faker;

  my $f = Faker->new;

  $f->_person_name(under => 'ja_jp')

This package also supports auto-loading plugins under a specific sub-namespace which is typical in creating fake data plugins for locales.
