Faker CLI

Faker is an awesome Python library, but I often just want a simple command I can run to generate data in a variety of formats.

With Faker CLI, you can easily generate CSV or JSON data with fields of your choosing.

You can also utilize pre-built templates for common data formats!

Usage

By default, faker-cli will generate a CSV output for you. You just specify the number of rows you want and the column types.

faker-cli -n 10 pyint,user_name,date_this_year

BAM! You've got a CSV file with your data.

pyint,user_name,date_this_year

JSON

Wnat a JSON file? Sweet, use -f json.

faker-cli -n 10 pyint,user_name,date_this_year -f json
{"pyint": 3854, "user_name": "cchavez", "date_this_year": "2023-01-20"}
{"pyint": 2008, "user_name": "vnguyen", "date_this_year": "2023-04-03"}
{"pyint": 1434, "user_name": "karen38", "date_this_year": "2023-03-02"}
{"pyint": 4922, "user_name": "duncanellen", "date_this_year": "2023-04-22"}
{"pyint": 230, "user_name": "tiffany72", "date_this_year": "2023-02-25"}
{"pyint": 7252, "user_name": "maydouglas", "date_this_year": "2023-04-01"}
{"pyint": 2716, "user_name": "sheilaflores", "date_this_year": "2023-03-20"}

{"pyint": 5306, "user_name": "mark12", "date_this_year": "2023-04-16"}

Default column names aren't good enough for you? Fine, use your own.

faker-cli -n 10 pyint,user_name,date_this_year -f json -c id,awesome_name,last_attention_at
{"id": 6048, "awesome_name": "jtran", "last_attention_at": "2023-04-24"}
{"id": 4310, "awesome_name": "stacey99", "last_attention_at": "2023-04-27"}
