Small wrapper around faker, to make values optional!
Note that faker added own optional
proxy, which however can be used only with callables. This is why in version 2.0.0 we renamed our method to none_or
.
>>> from faker import Faker
>>> import optional_faker
>>>
>>> fake = Faker()
>>> Faker.seed(1555)
>>>
>>> # `fake.none_or` can take any value, and return it, or None.
>>> fake.none_or(fake.pystr())
'scHhghRDleajCHjEYWAu'
>>> fake.none_or(fake.pystr())
None
>>> # or it can take callable, and *args with **kwargs
>>> # that will be passed to this callable.
>>> fake.none_or(fake.pystr, 1, max_chars=10)
'zmZUcJVTYX'
>>> fake.none_or(fake.pystr, 1, max_chars=10)
None
>>> # there is no explicit check is callable a faker part,
>>> # so you can pass anything.
>>> fake.none_or(lambda: "my callable!")
'my callable!'
>>> fake.none_or(lambda: "my callable!")
None
pip install optional-faker
And then you need to import optional_faker
anywhere but before creating Faker
instance.
git clone https://github.com/PerchunPak/optional-faker.git
cd optional-faker
Next we need install poetry
with recommended way.
If you use Linux, use command:
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python -
If you use Windows, open PowerShell with admin privileges and use:
(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://install.python-poetry.org -UseBasicParsing).Content | python -
poetry install
You can always write me!
pip install -U optional-faker
For updating, just re-download repository,
if you used git
for downloading, just run git pull
.
This project was inspired by faker-optional.
This project was generated with python-template.
