The faker and ffaker APIs are mostly the same, although the API on ffaker keeps diverging with its users additions. In general, the only difference is that you need to:
gem install ffaker
and then
require 'ffaker'
ffaker is a fork of faker, and was initially written in an effort to speed up a slow spec suite. Since those days faker has also been rewritten and the “speed” factor is probably irrelevant now. Bear in mind, if your spec suite is slow, chances are the generation of random data will probably not account for much of the run time.
Nowadays the code bases have diverged enough to make the two projects truly different: since ffaker creation, a lot of new API methods have been added through the generous contributions of people all over the world.
Hopefully some day faker and ffaker will join forces!
A lot of people have contributed to ffaker. Check this list.
If you want to add new modules or localization data, use one of the directories for data files (or create a new one!).
const_missing is
overriden
for Faker modules, so if you try to use a constant that is not defined
in the module, the
override
will look for a data file matching the name of the constant. E.G.: the
first time someone accesses FFaker::Name::FIRST_NAMES, a const of that
name will be set with data from ffaker/data/name/first_names.
To get repeatable results in Minitest or Rspec, follow these instructions.
You can get unique value from any methods in FFaker like this:
er::Name.unique.name
