Faker

This is a Swift port of the awesome PHP Faker library with more Swift specific code (not a direct port).

Requirements

• iOS 8.0+

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects.

CocoaPods 0.36 adds supports for Swift and embedded frameworks. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

To integrate Faker into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'Faker'

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Usage

Generators

When using Faker, it has a very small set of data without configuration. You can configure Faker to use specific locales by calling the Faker.Configuration.localize() method:

use Faker

Faker.Configuration.localize()

// OR

Faker.Configuration.localize(NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "en_US"))

Uuid

The Uuid generator can be used to generate random UUID strings:

use Faker

Faker.Uuid.uuid()

Person

The Person generator can be used to generate identity information:

use Faker

Faker.Person.name()
Faker.Person.name(.Male)
Faker.Person.name(.Female)

Faker.Person.firstName()
Faker.Person.firstName(.Male)
Faker.Person.firstName(.Female)

Faker.Person.lastName()

Faker.Person.title()
Faker.Person.title(.Male)
Faker.Person.title(.Female)

Faker.Person.maleTitle()
Faker.Person.maleFirstName()

Faker.Person.femaleTitle()
Faker.Person.femaleFirstName()

Lorem

The Lorem generator can be used to generate random text:

use Faker

let word : String         = Faker.Lorem.word()
let words : String        = Faker.Lorem.words()
let words : [String]      = Faker.Lorem.words()

let sentence : String     = Faker.Lorem.sentence()
let sentences : String    = Faker.Lorem.sentences()
let sentences : [String]  = Faker.Lorem.sentences()

let paragraph : String    = Faker.Lorem.paragraph()
let paragraphs : String   = Faker.Lorem.paragraphs()
let paragraphs : [String] = Faker.Lorem.paragraphs()

let text : String         = Faker.Lorem.text()

Company

The Company generator can be used to generate company information:

use Faker

Faker.Company.company()
Faker.Company.companySuffix()

Internet

The Internet generator can be used to generate internet data:

use Faker

Faker.Internet.email()
Faker.Internet.safeEmail()
Faker.Internet.freeEmail()
Faker.Internet.companyEmail()

Faker.Internet.url()
Faker.Internet.tld()
Faker.Internet.slug()
Faker.Internet.domainWord()
Faker.Internet.domainName()
Faker.Internet.freeEmailDomain()
Faker.Internet.safeEmailDomain()

Faker.Internet.username()
Faker.Internet.password()

Faker.Internet.ipv4()
Faker.Internet.ipv6()
Faker.Internet.localIpv4()
Faker.Internet.mac()
