Fake
====

Fake is a fake data generator for Go (Golang), heavily inspired by the forgery and ffaker Ruby gems.

## About

Most data and methods are ported from forgery/ffaker Ruby gems.
For the list of available methods please look at https://godoc.org/github.com/icrowley/fake.
Currently english and russian languages are available.

Fake embeds samples data files unless you call `UseExternalData(true)` in order to be able to work without external files dependencies when compiled, so, if you add new data files or make changes to existing ones don't forget to regenerate data.go file using `github.com/mjibson/esc` tool and `esc -o data.go -pkg fake data` command (or you can just use `go generate` command if you are using Go 1.4 or later).

## Install

```shell
go get github.com/icrowley/fake
```

## Import

```go
import (
  "github.com/icrowley/fake"
)
```

## Documentation

Documentation can be found at godoc:

https://godoc.org/github.com/icrowley/fake

## Test
To run the project tests:

```shell
cd test
go test
```

## Examples

```go
name := fake.FirstName()
fullname := fake.FullName()
product := fake.Product()
```

Changing language:

```go
err := fake.SetLang("ru")
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}
password := fake.SimplePassword()
```

Using english fallback:

```go
err := fake.SetLang("ru")
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}
fake.EnFallback(true)
password := fake.Paragraph()
```

Using external data:

```go
fake.UseExternalData(true)
password := fake.Paragraph()
```
