Quickly look up Faker methods without leaving your terminal!
I'm a huge fan of the Faker Gem and use it everywhere. However, sometimes I find myself digging through Faker's ReadMe when I'm unsure of a method's namespace or I'm just not sure what's available. 🙈 I've always wished I had some way to search for the method names without leaving my terminal.
$ gem install fakerbot1.) Run a quick lookup
$ fakerbot search name
# Faker::SwordArtOnline
# └── real_name
# └── game_name
# Faker::Superhero
# └── name
# ....2.) List methods
$ fakerbot list
# Faker::BackToTheFuture
# ├── quote
# ├── date
# └── character
# Faker::Finance
# └── credit_card
# ....fakerbot also includes an option to display sample output via the --verbose or -v flag. 😉
3.)
$ fakerbot list -v
# Faker::Appliance
# ├── brand=> Whirlpool
# └── equipment=> Sump pump
# Faker::UmphreysMcgee
# └── song=> Headphones & Snowcones
$ fakerbot search name -v
# Faker::App
# └── name=> Subin
# Faker::Address
# └── street_name=> Percy Landing
# ....- List classes with methods E.g. Faker::FunnyName should list
.name,.first_namee.t.c. - Expand search to Faker::Base sub classes
