[PATCH] Adding min_size and max_size to first_name, last_name and user_name

2009-09-14T00:36:01Z

Hello,
I made and attached a patch adding min_size and max_size options to Name's
first_name and last_name and Internet's user_name.
I also added some test cases, which I believe cover the new functionality.
Please review my patch.
Lucas Uyezu
P.S Thanks for creating the gem, it's *very* useful.

Thanks for posting this. It would be great to add a locales path to the
gem, then you could load locales/ch, which would override things like
phone_number, etc.
Feel free to fork [link], implement
that, and send a pull request. :)

Swiss-ified fake data http://gist.github.com/165751

2009-08-11T11:51:51Z

Hey there

If anyone is interested, I've added some methods to generate fake data
for Switzerland (i.e. phone numbers, company suffixes, domain
suffixes, zip codes).

Hi Jason,
I tried adding require 'faker' to my blueprints.rb file with no
change.

The main thing I want to do is to follow the data that faker is
creating either using IRB or somehow back to the console so I can walk
through my test or through the POST/PUT actions...maybe in the log??

What method does it say it can't find? That line is making three
method calls, so it would be helpful to know what it can't find.

I'm guessing you need to add "require 'faker'" to your blueprints.rb,
unless you're requiring test_helper in your blueprints.rb.

I'm having trouble getting started.

In my test_helper.rb I've added the line:
require 'faker'

In my blueprints.rb file I have the following line that's giving me a
"no method" error:
Identity.blueprint do
identifier "#{Faker::Internet.user_name}. #
{Faker::Internet.domain_name}"
end

That's what I did, thanks

Re: Remove some bad words

2009-02-19T13:33:22Z

I think that is Latin like Cum Laude

I don't know the actual method call to generate text, but you could
just gsub it out.

Faker::Lorem.generate.gsub("cu m", "")

You could just write a method that does that and call it clean so you
could say

Faker::Lorem.clean

Remove some bad words

2009-02-19T09:14:31Z

Hi,

Using intensely Faker, I encounter a really tricky suspected error :
In the Faker::Lorem there is the word "cum" that I qualified as a bad
word. Could somebody remove it from the gem?

Weighted Pick - Array Extension

2009-02-12T16:18:09Z

Gents,

Tell me what you think about this extension to the array class for
faker.

I have been having to come up with alot of fake data, and I wanted to
randomly pick from an array, but pick certain things more than others.
So came up with the idea of a weighted_pick from an array.

I was just going to write this.

+1 for this patch to be applied.

Thanks,

Jason

patch for phone_number

2009-01-08T20:09:30Z

Hi All,

I uploaded a minor patch to optionally allow the caller to specify the
phone_number formats array instead of always choosing from the hard-
coded Format array.

Re: Faker Danish Extension

2008-11-14T08:01:31Z

One important note:

I added and modified the time extension created by Karl (see
[link] )

AND added methods to create random dates in a year interval . (these
are then used to create Danish social security numbers which are based
on birthdates)

Hey, just a short msg to let you know I created a plugin for Danish
extensions to Faker.
