nvim-faker

A neovim plugin for generating fake data. It can be used to create random names, addresses, phone numbers, and other types of data, which is useful for testing and development purposes. It uses @tehdb/faker-cli under the hood which is based on Faker

📦 Install

Prerequisites

• node.js in at least version 18.0.0 or higher
• npm in at least version 9.0.0 or higher

For faster :Faker command executions, it is recommended to install the faker CLI as a global npm package using npm i -g @tehdb/faker-cli. Otherwise, npx is used to run faker commands, which consumes more time to execute.

With lazy.nvim

{
  'tehdb/nvim-faker',
  config = function()
    require('nvim-faker').setup({
      use_global_package = true -- use gloabl npm package otherwise npx (default: false)
    })
  end
}

With LuaRocks

luarocks install nvim-faker

or with rocks.nvim

:Rocks nvim-faker

using init.lua

require('faker').setup{}

using init.vim

lua << EOF
require('faker').setup{}
EOF

🪄 Commands

:Faker <module> <function> [param-value]... [param-key:param-value]... [locale]

For modules and supported functions see faker api reference
For supported locales see available locales

Autocompletion

When you type the :Faker command and press <space> followed by <tab>, completions for the faker modules will appear. After choosing or typing a faker module and pressing <space> and <tab> again, completions for the selected faker module functions will be displayed.
