What is json-schema-faker?

The json-schema-faker npm package is a tool that generates fake data based on JSON Schema definitions. It is useful for testing, prototyping, and mocking APIs.

What are json-schema-faker's main functionalities?

Basic JSON Schema Support

Generates fake data based on a simple JSON Schema. The schema defines an object with 'name' and 'age' properties, and json-schema-faker generates a corresponding fake object.

const jsf = require('json-schema-faker');
const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    name: { type: 'string' },
    age: { type: 'integer' }
  },
  required: ['name', 'age']
};
const fakeData = jsf.generate(schema);
console.log(fakeData);

Custom Formats

Allows the creation of custom formats for generating specific types of fake data. In this example, a custom format 'customFormat' is defined to always return 'customValue'.

const jsf = require('json-schema-faker');
jsf.format('customFormat', () => 'customValue');
const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    customField: { type: 'string', format: 'customFormat' }
  }
};
const fakeData = jsf.generate(schema);
console.log(fakeData);

Extending with Faker.js

Integrates with Faker.js to use its extensive library of fake data generators. In this example, the schema uses Faker.js to generate a fake email address.

const jsf = require('json-schema-faker');
const faker = require('faker');
jsf.extend('faker', () => faker);
const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    email: { type: 'string', faker: 'internet.email' }
  }
};
const fakeData = jsf.generate(schema);
console.log(fakeData);
