FEATURES

This package provides the following features:

plugins-feature

This package loads and dispatches calls to plugins (the fake data generators) which allow for extending the library in environment-specific ways.

example 1


            
              
              package Faker::Plugin::HttpContentType;
use base 'Faker::Plugin';
sub execute {
  'video/mpeg'
}
package main;
use Faker;
my $faker = Faker->new;
my $http_content_type = $faker->http_content_type;
# "video/mpeg"

example 2


            
              
              package Faker::Plugin::HttpContentType;
use base 'Faker::Plugin';
sub execute {
  'video/mpeg'
}
package main;
my $plugin = Faker::Plugin::HttpContentType->new;
my $http_content_type = $plugin->execute;
# "video/mpeg"

locales-feature

This package can be configured to return localized fake data, typically organized under namespaces specific to the locale specified.

example 1


            
              
              package Faker::Plugin::Dothraki::RandomPhrase;
use base 'Faker::Plugin';
sub execute {
  'Hash yer dothrae chek asshekh?'
}
package main;
use Faker;
my $faker = Faker->new('dothraki');
my $random_phrase = $faker->random_phrase;
# "Hash yer dothrae chek asshekh?"

example 2


            
              
              package Faker::Plugin::Klingon::RandomPhrase;
use base 'Faker::Plugin';
sub execute {
  'nuqDaq ’oH puchpa’’e’'
}
package main;
use Faker;
my $faker = Faker->new('klingon');
my $random_phrase = $faker->random_phrase;
# "nuqDaq ’oH puchpa’’e’"

example 3


            
              
              package Faker::Plugin::Dothraki::RandomPhrase;
use base 'Faker::Plugin';
sub execute {
  'Hash yer dothrae chek asshekh?'
}
package Faker::Plugin::Klingon::RandomPhrase;
use base 'Faker::Plugin';
sub execute {
  'nuqDaq ’oH puchpa’’e’'
}
package main;
use Faker;
my $faker = Faker->new(['dothraki', 'klingon']);
my $random_phrase = $faker->random_phrase;
# "nuqDaq ’oH puchpa’’e’"
# $random_phrase = $faker->random_phrase;
# "Hash yer dothrae chek asshekh?"
# $random_phrase = $faker->random_phrase;
# "nuqDaq ’oH puchpa’’e’"
# $random_phrase = $faker->random_phrase;
# "nuqDaq ’oH puchpa’’e’"

caching-feature

Often one generator's fake data is composed of the output from other generators. Caching can be used to make generators faster, and to make fake data more realistic.

example 1


            
              
              package main;
use Faker;
my $faker = Faker->new('en-us');
my $person_first_name = $faker->person_first_name;
# "Jordi"
my $person_last_name = $faker->person_last_name;
# "Smitham"
my $internet_email_address = $faker->internet_email_address;
# "deshaun8768@hotmail.com"
$person_first_name = $faker->cache('person_first_name');
# "Arlene"
$person_last_name = $faker->cache('person_last_name');
# "Cassin"
$internet_email_address = $faker->internet_email_address;
# "arlene6025@proton.me"
