FoxFaker

FoxFaker is a Visual FoxPro Class library that generates fake data for you. If your're working using n-tier architecture, MVC, or any other technique where you isolate business logic and data acces, then you probably need to spend some time by filling your persistence data to stress test it. Here is where FoxFaker comes to the rescue.

FoxFaker was written with the purpose to be used with FoxUnit and FoxMock libraries. If you're not familiar with TDD (Test Driven Development) then you probably need to learn about it or just ignore it and use FoxFaker as you wish.

FoxFaker is heavily inspired by PHP's Faker.

FoxFaker works quite good on VFP >= 7

Installation

Just copy the FoxFaker.prg and FactoryBase.txt files anywhere into your project path folder.

Basic Usage

Use a Public Variable or a _Screen Property to instantiate FoxFaker.prg object.

Public Faker
// require the FoxFaker Prg
Set Procedure to "FoxFaker" Additive

// Instantiate FoxFaker Object
Faker = NewObject("FoxFaker", "FoxFaker.prg")

// Generate data by accessing properties. 
// All methods are written using 'fake' as prefix
// for avoiding "Function Name" conflict, when calling Faker.name()

?Faker.fakeName() 	// 'Jhon Doe'

?Faker.fakeAddress() 	// "426 Jordy Lodge Cartwrightshire, SC 88120-6700"
?Faker.text()
  // Dolores sit sint laboriosam dolorem culpa et autem. Beatae nam sunt fugit
  // et sit et mollitia sed.
  // Fuga deserunt tempora facere magni omnis. Omnis quia temporibus laudantium
  // sit minima sint.

Formatters

Each of the generator properties (like name, address, and lorem) are called "formatters". A faker generator has many of them, packaged in "providers". Here is a list of the bundled formatters in the default locale.

FoxFaker\Provider\Base

    fakeRandomDigit()             		// 9
    fakeRandomNumber(tnLength)  		// 16795371    
    fakeNumberBetween(tnLowVal, tnHighVal) 	// 1985
    fakeRandomLetter()          		// 'i'

FoxFaker\Provider\Lorem

    fakeWord()                            // 'aut'
    fakeWords(tnHowMany)                  // Laborum vero a officia id corporis.
    fakeSentence(tnHowMany)  		  // 'Sit vitae voluptas sint non voluptates.'
    fakeText(tnLength)                    // 'Fuga totam reiciendis qui architecto fugiat nemo.'
