### Faker.fake()

faker.js contains a super useful generator method `Faker.fake` for combining faker API methods using a mustache string format.

**Example:**


``` js
console.log(faker.fake("{{name.lastName}}, {{name.firstName}} {{name.suffix}}"));
// outputs: "Marks, Dean Sr."
```


This will interpolate the format string with the value of methods `name.lastName()`, `name.firstName()`, and `name.suffix()`

## Localization

As of version `v2.0.0` faker.js has support for multiple localities.

The default language locale is set to English.

Setting a new locale is simple:

```js
// sets locale to de
faker.locale = "de";
```

 * az
 * ar
 * cz
 * de
 * de_AT
 * de_CH
 * en
 * en_AU
 * en_AU_ocker
 * en_BORK
 * en_CA
 * en_GB
 * en_IE
 * en_IND
 * en_US
 * en_ZA
 * es
 * es_MX
 * fa
 * fi
 * fr
 * fr_CA
 * fr_CH
 * ge
 * hy
 * hr
 * id_ID
 * it
 * ja
 * ko
 * nb_NO
 * ne
 * nl
 * nl_BE
 * pl
 * pt_BR
 * pt_PT
 * ro
 * ru
 * sk
 * sv
 * tr
 * uk
 * vi
 * zh_CN
 * zh_TW


### Individual Localization Packages

faker.js supports incremental loading of locales.

By default, requiring `faker` will include *all* locale data.

In a production environment, you may only want to include the locale data for a specific set of locales.

```js
// loads only de locale
var faker = require('faker/locale/de');
```

## Setting a randomness seed

If you want consistent results, you can set your own seed:

```js
faker.seed(123);

var firstRandom = faker.datatype.number();

// Setting the seed again resets the sequence.
faker.seed(123);

var secondRandom = faker.datatype.number();

console.log(firstRandom === secondRandom);
```

## Tests

```shell
npm install .
make test
```

You can view a code coverage report generated in coverage/lcov-report/index.html.

## Building faker.js

faker uses [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/) to automate its build process. Each build operation is a separate task which can be run independently.

### Browser Bundle

```shell
npm run browser
```

### Building JSDocs

[JSDOC](https://jsdoc.app/) v3 HTML API documentation

```shell
npm run jsdoc
```

### Building ReadMe

The `ReadMe.md` file for `faker.js` is automatically generated and should not be modified directly. All updates to `ReadMe.md` should be performed in `./build/src/docs.md` and then the build script should be run.

```shell
npm run readme
```

## Version Release Schedule

faker.js is a popular project used by many organizations and individuals in production settings. Major and Minor version releases are generally on a monthly schedule. Bugs fixes are addressed by severity and fixed as soon as possible.

If you require the absolute latest version of `faker.js` the `master` branch @ <http://github.com/marak/faker.js/> should always be up to date and working.
