stacks-faker · Data layer · model-invoked

Fake data generation for seeders and tests, wrapping ts-mocker. The per-attribute factory functions in a model definition are driven from here, which is what makes buddy seed produce realistic rows.

When to reach for it

  • Seeding databases
  • Generating test data
  • Model factories
  • Using faker utilities

Covers

@stacksjs/faker (wrapper around ts-mocker), its integration with the database seeder.
