# Simple Data Source

[![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/grafana/simple-datasource/tree/master.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/grafana/simple-datasource/tree/master)

The faker datasource uses faker.js to create random data for panels. 

In a single request, the time range is divided up, and a request for random data is generated. 

The datasource uses moustace templates to generate data, so:

```

{{name.lastName}}, {{name.firstName}} {{name.suffix}}

{{address.city}}

{{database.column}}

{{random.number({"min": 1, "max": 255})}}

```

Will generate a table of data with time, and 3 columns: a random name, a city, a database column, and a random integer between 1 and 255.

For a chart, the following:

```

{{random.number({"min": 1, "max": 255})}}

{{random.number({"min": 255, "max": 512})}}

```

Will generate 2 series from a single request (A).

If you move the second line to it's own request, you get the same dataset, but over two queries.

Feedback and comments welcome.
