# py-fake-rs


A fake data generator (a faker) for Python, extended with Rust.

This module contains bindings to [fake-rs](https//github.com/cksac/fake-rs),
a fake-data generator written in [Rust](https//www.rust-lang.org/).


The reason for this library is performance. When you're generating large amounts
of fake data, this library will serve you well.


## Example API

```python
from pyfakers import Name

print(Name.first_name())
print(Name.last_name())
```


## Installation

Install with pip, wheel files are provided for Linux and macOS

THIS WONT WORK YET (BUT WILL SHORTLY) pip install pyfakers


## Building from source

Install libffi, python3 headers, setuptools and wheel. The following command will install these on Ubuntu

apt-get install libffi-dev python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-wheel

Check out the repository

git clone git@github.comdowwie/pyfakers.git
cd pyfakers

In order to compile the Rust code, you'll need to have Rust nightly toolchain installed and enabled.

Use rustup to set this up, find installation instructions for rustup at https//www.rustup.rs/

To use Rust nightly, run the following commands (from the project root)

rustup update nightly
rustup override add nightly

Install the ``pipenv`` utility from pypi

pip install pipenv

Install dependencies (from the project root)

pipenv install

Launch a virtual environment (from the project root)

pipenv shell

Now you can build the package

python3 setup.py bdist_wheel

Install the wheel

pip install dist/<wheel file name>


## Full API

```python
from pyfakers import Name, Internet, Company, Address, PhoneNumber

print(Name.first_name())
print(Name.last_name())
print(Name.full_name())
print(Name.title_descriptor())
print(Name.title_level())
print(Name.title_job())
print(Name.title())

print(Internet.free_email_provider())
print(Internet.domain_suffix())
print(Internet.user_name())
print(Internet.free_email())
print(Internet.safe_email())

print(Company.suffix())
print(Company.name())
print(Company.buzzword())
print(Company.catch_phrase())
print(Company.bs())
print(Company.profession())
print(Company.industry())

print(Address.time_zone())
print(Address.city_prefix())
print(Address.city_suffix())
print(Address.street_suffix())
print(Address.state())
print(Address.state_abbr())
print(Address.city())
print(Address.street_name())
print(Address.building_number())
print(Address.street_address())
print(Address.secondary_address())
print(Address.postal_code())
print(Address.latitude())
print(Address.longitude())

print(PhoneNumber.phone_number())
```
