About light-fakery

light-fakery is a lightweight library for generating fake data in JS/TS.

Its guiding principles are:

  • Structured as a pure ESM package
  • Tree-shakable so you only bundle data you are using
  • First class support for consuming the library in TypeScript
  • Focused on fake data use cases that make sense in a business-y environment
  • Easy to extend if you need additional data
  • Zero dependencies

It uses the Mulberry32 algorithm to generate random numbers.

NOTE

I'm aware that Mulberry32 isn't state of the art. I might try to swap it out in a major bump at some point in the future, but on the other hand I think it's probably fine for the use case here.
