Salesforce Faker is a native Salesforce library that generates fake data for you.
Faker is inspired by PHP's Faker.
FakerFactory is inspired by Laravel Model Factory.
Use new Faker('US') to create and initialize a faker generator.
Faker faker = new Faker('US');
Integer randomInteger = faker.randomInteger(3); // 391
String firstName = faker.person.firstName(); // Iggy
String lastName = faker.person.firstName(); // Holmes
String street = faker.address.street(); // 3049 Sunset AvenueEven if this example shows a property access, each call to faker.person.firstName() yields a different (random) result.
Faker faker = new Faker('US');
faker.person.firstName(); // Felicity
faker.person.firstName(); // Jody
faker.person.firstName(); // Jammie
faker.person.firstName(); // Sylvester
faker.person.firstName(); // NigelEach of the generator properties (like name, address, and realText) are called "formatters". A faker generator has many of them, packaged in "providers". Here is a list of the bundled formatters in the default locale.
String randomElement(new List<String>{'a','b','c'}) // c

Salesforce FakerFactory is a convenient way to generate new Records with random fake data. Before we can generate the data we need to first create a map of the data.
public class FakerContactFactory extends FakerFactoryBase {
public override String objectName() {
return 'Contact';
}
public override Map<String, Object> define() {
return new Map<String, Object>{
'FirstName' => this.faker.person.firstName(),
'LastName' => this.faker.person.lastName(),
'MiddleName' => this.faker.person.firstName(),
'BirthDay' => this.faker.person.birthday(),
'JobTitle' => this.faker.person.jobTitle(),
'Website' => this.faker.internet.url()
};
}
}After you have the factory map created you can use it in your tests or seeders like this:
Contact c = (Contact) FakerFactory.create(new FakerContactFactory());
System.debug(c.Id); // 00541000001Kqd4
System.debug(c.Name); // James BondIf you need to create a lot of users without hitting the SF limits:
List<Contact> contacts = new List<Contact>();
for(Integer i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
contacts.add((Contact) FakerFactory.make(new FakerContactFactory()));
}
insert contacts;
System.debug(contacts.size()); // 100
If you need to override a field you can do it by giving the factory a map of values to override:
```java
Contact c = (Contact) FakerFactory.create(new FakerContactFactory(), new Map<String, Object> {
'Name' => 'Dexter Morgan'
});
System.debug(c.Name); // Dexter Morgan## License
