# faker-es6 - Massive realistic fake data generation tool for ES6+ projects, fully tree-shakable for a smaller package size
A heavily inspired lib to generate massive amounts of realistic fake data.
This lib was inspired by what I would like to see in [Marak/faker.js](https://github.com/Marak/faker.js) plus what I thought that could be a good exercise for myself.

## Localization
`faker-es6` supports any ISO valid locale.
To use a locale, just pass it as a parameter in the method you want to use.
## Current available locales
Since this is lib is a WIP, at the time of development it only supports:
- **en** 🇺🇸
- **ja** 🇯🇵 (partial support for now)
- **pt_BR** 🇧🇷
### Localization example with TypeScript
```ts
import { firstName } from 'faker-es6/lib/name/firstName';
import { Locale } from 'faker-es6/lib/types/locale';
const name = firstName(Locale.PT_BR); // Random first name in pt_BR: Bruna
const anotherName = firstName(Locale.PT_BR); // Random first name in pt_BR: Paula
```
> `Locale` is an TS enum object with all valid ISO language codes
### Localization example without TypeScript
```ts
import { firstName } from 'faker-es6/lib/name/firstName';
const name = firstName('pt_BR'); // Random first name in pt_BR: Bruna
const anotherName = firstName('pt_BR'); // Random first name in pt_BR: Paula
```
