Fluent Fixture

The @fluentfixture is a flexible tool for generating customizable mock data with a fluent interface.

Philosophy

In Informatics, dummy data is benign information that does not contain any useful data, but serves to reserve space where real data is nominally present. Dummy data can be used as a placeholder for both testing and operational purposes. For testing, dummy data can also be used as stubs or pad to avoid software testing issues by ensuring that all variables and data fields are occupied. (↪wiki)

Generating dummy data is crucial in software development. The quality of test data directly impacts development quality and velocity. There are many dummy data generators in the JavaScript ecosystem. However, creating complex objects and responding to real-world use cases can be challenging.

The @fluentfixture aims to provide a fluent interface and an extensible architecture for generating dummy data.

The @fluentfixture doesn't provide predefined data like FakerJS but offers multiple adapters for integration with external libraries.

Packages

Core (@fluentfixture/core)
