Rfaker is a gem that will allow the conditional or weighted random selection of Faker generators.
At this point it is unreleased and contains only a class for holding a tree structure of the environment Faker installation's directories, classes and methods, along with some helper methods.
This gem is unreleased. When it is released:
Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
$ bundle add rfaker
If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
$ gem install rfaker
Spawn a compositor with short_form = Rfaker.composite(domain1, domain2) or long_form = Rfaker::Compositor.new([domain1, domain2], [weight1, weight2] | "weight description")
Use it to generate a random return with even_faker_faker.fake
Valid domains are Faker generators or their superclasses up to the top of the Faker namespace itself. Only generators with arities of -1 or 0 are returned (no arguments are passed to randomly selected generators).
Rfaker::Faker_tree.new(faker_classes_path) will generate a hash accessible with .tree that represents the local Faker directory, class and method structure. Future version will allow multiple paths.
Rfaker::Helpers.faker_path, Rfaker::Helpers.faker_class_path(faker_base_path) and Rfaker::Helpers.faker_yaml_path can be used to return various local Faker paths.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
RBS and Rspec are used for testing, check in sig and spec.
This gem is in very early development. Feedback and PRs will be accepted after the first release.
