Faker Factory

A small utility for creating fake models using a factory function. This factory is inspired by Laravel's factory function and assumes
a class model similar to Eloquent.

$3

Register a factory by providing label, class and callback arguments. The callback function provides an instance of
Faker.js and should return an object of attributes for your model.
`` js
const factory = require('factory')
const User = require('../models/user')

factory.register('user', User, faker => {
return {
firstName: faker.name.firstName(),
lastName: faker.name.lastName(),
email: faker.internet.email(),
}
})
`

$3


Once you've registered your factory bindings, you can make as many models as you like, each with unique data. You can
also replace the default attributes with your own.
` js
let users = factory('user', 10)->make() // array of fake users
let adminUsers = factory('user', 10)->make({ isAdmin: true }) // array of fake admin users
`

The factory assumes two things about your model class. The first assumption is that the constructor of your
model takes an object of attributes as it's only argument.
` js
class User {
constructor (attributes = {}) {
this.attributes = attributes
}
}
`

The second assumption is that your class has a method called create() which will persist your model to your storage engine.
` js
class User {
async create () {
return await firebase.database().location('users').push(this.attributes)
}
}
``

With these two assumptions, you should be able to create fake models in no time. This is a tiny package, so please feel free to comment or send me a Pull Request.
