A Go library that generates fake data based on struct definitions using struct tags or single-value functions. This repository is archived and development has moved to github.com/go-faker/faker.
Use cases
- generate fake test data for Go structs
- populate structs with random values for unit tests
- create mock data for development and demos
- generate random strings, emails, and names in Go
- seed databases with sample data
When to choose
- you need struct-tag-driven fake data generation in Go
- you want a lightweight faker without external dependencies
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the maintained go-faker/faker fork instead
- you need private struct field support
- you need types beyond the supported primitives and time.Time
