Faker Data Generation

Faker.js is a test data generation library for JavaScript.

AnyWayData supports Faker commands directly via the faker source path, and also via a curated Domain abstraction.

For helper-specific usage, see Faker Helpers.

Most common Faker usage is mapped to curated domain.* methods. Use domain docs for domain-first schemas: Domain Test Data.

Faker Scope​

  • Use this page for explicit faker usage, especially helpers.*.
  • For non-helper generation, prefer domain.* methods.
  • Use domain pages for curated aliases and domain metadata.
  • helpers.* is faker-only and is not part of the domain abstraction.
