Using FAKER

Using faker will save you so much time and effort when creating fake data for your projects and its so easy to use.

First head to

faker-ruby / faker

A library for generating fake data such as names, addresses, and phone numbers.

Faker

This gem is a port of Perl's Data::Faker library that generates fake data.

It comes in very handy for taking screenshots (taking screenshots for my project, Catch the Best was the original impetus for the creation of this gem), having real-looking test data, and having your database populated with more than one or two records while you're doing development.
