gimei_ex

GimeiEx is an Elixir port of the Ruby gimei library, providing a simple way to generate realistic Japanese names and addresses. It is useful for testing, seeding databases, or any application requiring placeholder Japanese data.

Key Features

• Random Name Generation — Returns full names with separate first and last name components in kanji, hiragana, and katakana.
• Random Address Generation — Generates addresses with prefecture, city, and town parts in all three Japanese scripts.
• Flexible Output Formats — Supports accessing full strings or individual components (e.g., Name.kanji(), address.prefecture.hiragana).
• Convenience Functions — Includes shorthand functions like GimeiEx.prefecture, GimeiEx.city, and GimeiEx.town for generating specific address parts.

Philosophy

GimeiEx follows the original gimei library's philosophy of providing a straightforward, reliable way to generate authentic Japanese data for development and testing purposes.
