Questions tagged [faker]

An extension or library used in certain programming languages or frameworks (namely Ruby or Yii2) for generating fake data for debug purposes and testing.

In Ruby, Faker, a port of Data::Faker from Perl, is used to easily generate fake data: names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.

A PHP library is available for Faker that is used in some frameworks such as Laravel.
