What is faker?

The faker npm package is a powerful tool for generating massive amounts of fake data in Node.js and the browser. It is commonly used for testing, bootstrapping databases, and creating realistic-looking UI prototypes. Faker can generate data for various categories, including names, addresses, phone numbers, dates, and more.

What are faker's main functionalities?

Generating Names
