# realish

Data faking/obfuscation library based on real data.

Most data faking libraries generate dummy data for you. This library
takes your _existing_ data and mangles or obscures parts of it that
you don't want public, but otherwise leaves it intact. The resulting
data is "real-ish" rather than "fake".

Designed for the typical case of generating sample data for
demonstrations, or for test fixtures, etc. where you don't want
sensitive info projected to the room or in your repository, but you
need more realistic data than that produced by random generation.

## Installation

Via npm:

$ npm install realish

Or as a [component][component]:

$ component install ericgj/realish

## Usage

```javascript
var faked = Realish(data)
.obscureDigits('ssn')
.scrambleWords('secret')
.randomRecord('lastname')
.randomEmail('email')
.random('status', ['single','married','dependent',null])
.fake('firstname', function(val,rec,recno){ return rec.codename; })
.exclude('salt','key','bankno')

process.stdout.write(JSON.stringify(faked));
```

or command-line:

$ realish filter.json < input.json > output.json
