jQuery-Faker
A jQuery plugin that generates the fake data for the developer to use during the development time. It actually generates the test data for the developer rather than having to type to regenerate the similar data to test same business logic.
Works with all major browsers.
Demo
Features
- Automatic data generation for the forms
- Detects the input type and adds random relevant values

- Customized data type for user convenience
- Add new data and data types
- Restrict data to user defined values for each data types
- Generate fake data within your project right away
- Easy to use and extend
Future Enhancements
- Add regular expression match for more magic
- Make even better internal knowledge base for even more magic
- Allow custom field to be created based on data type only, no need to define the data itself
- Allow users to switch to bug mode where incorrect data is fed to the fields to check the vulnerabilities
- Automatic disable in production environment
- Auto detect confirmation fields
- Support minimum and maximum values for numerical/date data types
- Match with multiple input attributes
Why do I need this?
Because all the other faker plugins are just fake. Not all plugins gave the automation we seek, we had to map each of our input fields to the data, and some even didn't gave random data. We found some browser plugins but we needed to setup different browser extensions which is much tedious.
Adding it won't hurt you. You won't need any significant change. It'll just give life to those blank input fields, selects, radio buttons and checkboxes. So, you don't have to type again and again each time you refresh the browser.
$( "#myform" ).fakify();That's the way the magic happens
Usage
$( "#myform" ).fakify();Advanced usage
$('#myform').fakify({
"applicant[name]": "name.fullName", // maps name to the fullName in our database
"customer[district]": ["Kathmandu", "Lalitpur", "Bhaktapur"], // adds a new datatype district to our database
"except": ["country", "address_2", "website"] // doesn't assign values to the given fields
});Example
