ffaker
A Ruby library for generating fake data, originally forked from Faker with an expanded API and unique value generation.
What is ffaker?
ffaker is a Ruby library for generating fake data such as names, addresses, emails, and phone numbers. It was originally forked from the Faker gem to improve performance and has since evolved with an expanded API and additional features. It solves the problem of needing realistic but non-sensitive data for testing, development, and demonstrations.
Ruby developers, particularly those working with Rails applications, who need to generate mock data for testing, seeding databases, or creating sample content. It's also useful for developers writing specs or tests that require varied input data.
Developers choose ffaker for its enhanced performance, unique value generation capabilities, and extensive community-contributed data modules. It offers a more feature-rich and maintainable alternative to the original Faker gem, with better integration for ensuring data uniqueness in tests.
