get-fake-user

Random user generator

Description

Random user generation including the following data firstName, lastName, nickname, emailAddres, password, birthdate, gender. If you need to automate the registration process for example, you need to create user data, in which case this package will help you.

How it works

The /data folder contains a set of random data that includes first names, last names, and other data. A random first and last name is taken from files in this folder, and an email and password are generated based on them. The generated data is exported as an object in array. When a single user is created, it is returned as an object. When creating multiple users, user objects are returned in an array.

English, Spanish, Ukrainian and Russian languages are supported for the "firstName", "lastName" fields.

Example of an exported data(one user):

{
  firstName: 'Alfie',
  lastName: 'Macey',
  gender: 'male',
  nickname: 'strong9173452',
  emailAddress: '[e-mail]',
  password: 'Alfie$5009314',
  birthdate: {
      monthNumber: 7,
      monthName: 'July',
      dayNumber: 15,
      yearNumber: 1972,
      fullDateString: '1972-07-15'
    }
}
