Artillery Plugin Faker


Makes faker.js available for Artillery load test configurations.

> [!TIP]
> Artillery also provides a fake-data plugin (powered by falso).
> Use that for simple, integrated fake values — use this plugin when you need faker.js' full API, locale support, or specific faker functions.

Install

``sh
npm install -g artillery-plugin-faker
`

Usage

Add the plugin to your load test configuration:

`yaml
config:
plugins:
faker:
locale: en
`

$3

- locale (default: en) sets the locale of _faker.js_.

$3

Using a string prefixed with $faker. as variable value will result in a random variable value returned by the indicated _faker.js_ function.

`yaml
config:
target: "http://localhost:3000"
phases:
- duration: 10
arrivalRate: 1
plugins:
faker:
locale: en
variables:
firstName: "$faker.person.firstName"

scenarios:
- flow:
- log: "Making request with query: {{ firstName }}"
- get:
url: "/search?q={{ firstName }}"
`

For a complete list of available _faker.js_ functions, have a look at the faker.js documentation. Please note that no parameters can be passed to the _faker.js_ functions at this time.

_Have a look at the example.yml file for a fully working example:_

`sh
artillery run example.yml
