• Using Struct's tag:
  • basic tags: example_with_tags_test.go
  • length and bounds: example_with_tags_lenbounds_test.go
  • language: example_with_tags_lang_test.go
  • unique: example_with_tags_unique_test.go
  • slice length: example_with_tags_slicelength_test.go
• Custom Struct's tag (define your own faker data):example_custom_faker_test.go
• Without struct's tag:example_without_tag_test.go
• Single Fake Data Function:example_single_fake_data_test.go

Bench To Generate Fake Data

The Struct Field must be PUBLIC.
Support Only For :

• int,int8,int16,int32 &int64
• []int,[]int8,[]int16,[]int32 &[]int64
• bool &[]bool
• string &[]string
• float32,float64,[]float32 &[]float64
• time.Time &[]time.Time
• Nested Struct Field

Unfortunately this library has some limitation

• It does not support private fields. Make sure your structs fields you intend to generate fake data for are public, it would otherwise trigger a panic. You can however omit fields using a tag skipfaker:"-" on your private fields.
• It does not support theinterface{} data type. How could we generate anything without knowing its data type?
• It does not support themap[interface{}]interface{},map[any_type]interface{} &map[interface{}]any_type data types. Once again, we cannot generate values for an unknown data type.
• Custom types are not fully supported. However some custom types are already supported: we are still investigating how to do this the correct way. For now, if you usefaker, it's safer not to use any custom types in order to avoid panics.
• Some extra custom types can be supported IF AND ONLY IF extended withAddProvider() please seeexample
• Theoneof tag currently only supportsstring, theint types, and bothfloat32 &float64. Further support is coming soon (i.e. hex numbers, etc). Seeexample for usage.
