jump to usage examples.

Requirements

OTP 19+
Elixir 1.6+

Usage

See documentation and usage examples.

Troubleshooting

If you get a message like the one below when you call Faker.Address.city/0, you need to add :faker to your application's mix file, in the applications function, as above.

** (FunctionClauseError) no function clause matching in Faker.Address.city_count/1
lib/faker/address.ex:48: Faker.Address.city_count(nil)
lib/faker/address.ex:41: Faker.Address.city/0

Tools

Faker was designed as a lightweight library, that's why it can be easily used with other tools.

Templating

You can build templates for testing purposes with the Blacksmith project. See the Blacksmith readme for details.
