C++ Faker

C++ Faker is a modern C++20 open-source library for generating fake data for testing and development.

The library is heavily inspired by Faker.js.

Dependencies: GTest for building library tests (can be disabled by setting CMake flag BUILD_TESTS=OFF)

🎯 Goal

My goal is to provide a library like Faker.js for C++ developers.

Example

Lets dive into some simple example of generating fake data

#include <format>
#include <iostream>
#include "faker-cxx/Internet.h"
#include "faker-cxx/String.h"
#include "faker-cxx/Date.h"

int main()
{
    const auto id = faker::String::uuid();
    const auto email = faker::Internet::email();
    const auto password = faker::Internet::password();
    const auto createdAt = faker::Date::pastDate();
    const auto updatedAt = faker::Date::recentDate();

    std::cout << std::format("id: {}, email: {}, password: {}, createdAt: {}, updatedAt: {}", id, email, password,
                             createdAt, updatedAt);

    return 0;
}

Consuming library with CMake

add_subdirectory(third_party/faker-cxx)

add_executable(main main.cpp)

target_link_libraries(main faker-cxx)
