What's inside Java Faker

  1. Use Locales with Java Faker

    master

    You can generate localized data by passing a Locale object to the Faker constructor. Supported locales include en-US, de, fr, ja, zh-CN, and many others.

    Faker faker = new Faker(new Locale("YOUR_LOCALE"));

  2. Install Java Faker via Maven or Gradle

    master

    To use Java Faker in your project, add the dependency to your build configuration file.

    <!-- Maven -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.javafaker</groupId>
    <artifactId>javafaker</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.2</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Gradle -->
dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.javafaker:javafaker:1.0.2'
}

  3. Generate fake data with the Faker class

    master

    Initialize a Faker instance to access various faker modules (like name(), address(), etc.) to generate realistic dummy data.

    Faker faker = new Faker();

String name = faker.name().fullName(); // Miss Samanta Schmidt
String firstName = faker.name().firstName(); // Emory
String lastName = faker.name().lastName(); // Barton

String streetAddress = faker.address().streetAddress(); // 60018 Sawayn Brooks Suite 449
