Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Usage

Basic Usage

var dataFaker = require('data-faker');

var users = dataFaker.schema([{
    firstname: 'firstName',
    lastname: 'lastName',
    username: 'userName',
    password: 'password-8', //generates password with 8 characters 
    gender: 'gender'
}, 3]); //data object count

Output:

users = [
{
    firstname: "Abbey",
    lastname: "Frey",
    username: "mushy_science",
    password: "18h9hhYC",
    gender: "female" },
{
    firstname: "Will",
    lastname: "Clements",
    username: "incredible_geese",
    password: "G0IOAxAA",
    gender: "male" },
{
    firstname: "Aron",
    lastname: "Mahoney",
    username: "junior_cloth",
    password: "QUMMOOGG",
    gender: "male" }
]

Custom Values

dataFaker.set('valueName', [arrayOfValues], {options})

Custom Value Options:

{
    range: true, // Returns random numbers between two integers
    unique: true // Returns each value in array only once
}

Example:

var dataFaker = require('data-faker');

dataFaker.set('guitar', ['Fender', 'Gibson', 'Schecter', 'Yamaha']);
dataFaker.set('happiness', [1, 10], { range: true });
dataFaker.set('id', [0, 100], { range: true, unique: true });

var db = dataFaker.schema([{
    brand: 'guitar',
    happiness: 'happiness',
    _id: 'id'
}, 3])

Output:

db = [ 
    { brand: 'Fender', happiness: 2, _id: 74 },
    { brand: 'Fender', happiness: 9, _id: 48 },
    { brand: 'Gibson', happiness: 7, _id: 29 } 
]

Lorem Ipsum

var posts = dataFaker.schema([{
    title: 'lorem-5', //Will generate lorem with 5 words
    body: 'lorem-20', //Will generate lorem with 20 words
    createdBy: 'userName',
    createdAt: 'date' //Will return random date between 2014 and 2015
}, 2])

Output:

posts = [ 
{   title: 'ex ad aliquip elit sint',
    body: 'aliqua magna aute esse nostrud laborum tempor do adipisicing in mollit reprehenderit sunt enim pariatur reprehenderit eu fugiat qui aliquip',
    createdBy: 'flaky_girl',
    createdAt: 'Sat Oct 11 2014 05:13:45 GMT+0300 (EEST)' },
{   title: 'aute pariatur aute reprehenderit est',
    body: 'sint fugiat magna do consectetur anim ex dolor quis pariatur excepteur mollit mollit magna in occaecat elit ipsum exercitation enim',
    createdBy: 'male_waves',
    createdAt: 'Wed Jul 09 2014 02:16:15 GMT+0300 (EEST)' } 
]
