Imagine.js - tool for imaginary data*

* — WIP

1. Populate regexp-like syntax:

   imagine(/https?:\/\/(?:www.)?(?:google.com|yandex.ru)/);

2. Populate json-generator notation:

   imagine([
   	'{{repeat(5, 7)}}',
   	{
   		type: 'article',
   		id: '{{ index }}',
   		isPublished: '{{ bool }}',
   		…
   	}
   ])

3. Use set of primitives

   imagine.int(0,10);
   imagine.float(-23.12,100.12);
   imagine.any("a", "b", "c");
   imagine.bool();
   …

4. Use localized data-providers …

Motivation

My proccess of making site was similar to:

1. Paint design or sketches
2. Do markup (HTML)
3. Fill markup with some fake content
4. Write styles
5. Check how does everything look: if it’s bad, go to 2.
6. Implement templates code based on the markup …

I'd feel better doing this:

1. Paint design or sketches
2. Implement templates. They are filled automatically with random data.
3. Write CSS iteratively, testing it on different content …

It’s main goal of imagine.js.
