This project was originally created and hosted at https://github.com/marak/Faker.js/ - however around 4th Jan, 2022 - the author decided to delete the repository (for unknown reasons).
In the interest of the community, it has been decided that faker.js will continue to be maintained here and all help in its development will be appreciated.
Coming soon!
<script src="faker.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
var randomName = faker.name.findName(); // Caitlyn Kerluke
var randomEmail = faker.internet.email(); // Rusty@arne.info
var randomCard = faker.helpers.createCard(); // random contact card containing many properties
</script>
var faker = require("faker");
var randomName = faker.name.findName(); // Rowan Nikolaus
var randomEmail = faker.internet.email(); // Kassandra.Haley@erich.biz
var randomCard = faker.helpers.createCard(); // random contact card containing many properties

faker.js contains a super useful generator method Faker.fake for combining faker API methods using a mustache string format.
Example:
console.log(
faker.fake("{{name.lastName}}, {{name.firstName}} {{name.suffix}}")
);
This will interpolate the format string with the value of methods name.lastName(), name.firstName(), and name.suffix()
As of version v2.0.0 faker.js has support for multiple localities.
The default language locale is set to English.
Setting a new locale is simple:
// sets locale to de
faker.locale = "de";
faker.js supports incremental loading of locales.
By default, requiring faker will include all locale data.
In a production environment, you may only want to include the locale data for a specific set of locales.
// loads only de locale
var faker = require("faker/locale/de");
If you want consistent results, you can set your own seed:
faker.seed(123);
var firstRandom = faker.datatype.number();
// Setting the seed again resets the sequence.
faker.seed(123);
var secondRandom = faker.datatype.number();
console.log(firstRandom === secondRandom);
npm install .

faker uses gulp to automate its build process. Each build operation is a separate task which can be run independently.
