Thank you Faker. Now it’s Time to Move On.

TL;DR — Falso is a modern, tree-shakeable, well-documented replacement for Faker.js

You probably know what happened to Faker.js around two weeks ago.

In collaboration with Netanel Basal, I created a new mock data generator lib to provide a quick, suitable replacement for those relying on Faker (including us).

Meet Falso 🎩

✅ 160+ Functions ( at the time of writing)
✅ Tree Shakable

Setting a Randomness Seed

You can set your own seed if you want consistent results:

import { rand, seed } from '@ngneat/falso';
seed('some-constant-seed');

// Always returns 2
rand([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
