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"
