kiss.db.faker(field)

Mockup tool to feed a database with fake random values

  • The fake value is generated according to the field label property.
  • A few common fields are recognized automatically
  • If the label is undefined or not recognized, it tries to look at the field type property instead (text, number, date)

Recognized field labels are:

  • name
  • first name
  • last name
  • full name
  • company name
  • department
  • email
  • phone
  • address
  • address 1
  • address 2
  • zip code
  • city
  • country
  • title
  • description
  • priority
  • status

The fake values are generated one field at a time, so, to feed a complete record, you must loop over its list of fields.

const userRecord = {}
userModel.getFields().forEach(field => userRecord[field.id] = kiss.db.faker(field))
Parameters:
Name Type Description
field object | string

An object defining a label and a type | A simple string for the label ("First name") or the type ("number")
