Ember addon for including fake data in your app for testing or prototyping.

Ember Faker

Ember addon wrapper for Faker.js.

Installation for ember-cli >= 0.2.3

ember install ember-faker

ember-cli 0.1.5 - 0.2.2

ember install:addon ember-faker

Usage

Import the faker module with import faker from 'faker'. Then you can use it as a default value for dummy data:

import faker from 'faker';

export default DS.Model.extend({
  firstName: DS.attr('string', {
    defaultValue: function() {
      return faker.name.firstName();
    }
  })
});

Or manually set attributes for tests or prototypes:

import faker from 'faker';

// ...

user.set('firstName', faker.name.firstName());
user.set('lastName', faker.name.lastName());

Environment options

By default faker is included into your build for non-production environments. To include it in production, add this to your config:

// ember-cli-build.js
let app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
  'ember-faker': {
    enabled: EmberApp.env === 'production'
  }
});

ember-faker's Issues

Add internet helpers

Add name helpers

Deprecation on ember-cli 2.12

When used with [email protected], ember-faker emits the following deprecation warning:

DEPRECATION: Addon files were detected in /path/to/app/node_modules/ember-faker/addon, but no JavaScript preprocessors were found for ember-faker. Please make sure to add a preprocessor (most likely ember-cli-babel) to in dependencies (NOT devDependencies) in ember-faker's package.json.

Faker.js 4

Can we upgrade faker to v4?

Add optional helper methods for fake data.

stop using Bower?

From #12, I saw a lot of discussion around not relying on bower for the Faker dependency. Figured it might be worth opening an issue specific to that.

Faker initializer in production builds

There is initializer inlcuded in production builds when faker is disabled in config/environment 'ember-cli-faker': {enabled:false}. Why is the initializer app/initializer here anyway? it is empty.

Bump faker to 3.1.0

Currently version seems to be "Faker": "~2.1.0" which is missing count for faker.random.alphaNumberic :(
