C++ Faker

faker-cxx is a modern C++20 open-source library for generating fake data for testing and development.

It has no dependencies beyond Boost library (and GTest for unit tests).

🎯 Goal

My goal is to create a simple, modern C++ Faker library similar to faker-js/faker.

Example

Lets dive into some simple example of generating fake data for some user

#include <format>
#include <iostream>
#include "faker-cxx/Internet.h"
#include "faker-cxx/String.h"

int main()
{
    const auto id = faker::String::uuid();
    const auto email = faker::Internet::email();
    const auto password = faker::Internet::password();

    std::cout << std::format("id: {}, email: {}, password: {}", id, email, password);

    return 0;
}

Consuming library with CMake

add_subdirectory(third_party/faker-cxx)

add_executable(main main.cpp)

target_link_libraries(main faker-cxx)
