TestyTesterson

9001.9001.9020 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

A module to generate ridiculous test data, version 9001.9001.9020. Regularly released, it provides random usernames, names, emails, lorem ipsum text, image URLs, birthdays, countries, and IP addresses. Differentiated by its intentionally nonsensical and humorous output, suitable for mocking data in development and testing environments where realism is not required.

Common errors

error ERR_REQUIRE_ESM: require() of ES Module not supported ↓

cause Using require() on an ESM-only module.

fix

Use import statement: import testercle from 'testytesterson'

error TypeError: testercle.username is not a function ↓

cause Forgetting to call the method with parentheses.

fix

Use testercle.username() instead of testercle.username

Warnings

breaking ESM-only since v9001.9001.9000; require() fails with ERR_REQUIRE_ESM ↓

fix Use import instead of require.

gotcha imageUrl() returns 'https://api.adorable.io/avatars/200/...' which is now a dead service. ↓

fix The image URL API may return 404; consider using a different placeholder service.

gotcha Output is intentionally ridiculous and non-deterministic; cannot be used for reproducible test data. ↓

fix Use a deterministic fake data library if reproducibility is needed.

Install

npm install testytesterson

yarn add testytesterson

pnpm add testytesterson

Imports

default

wrong

const testercle = require('testytesterson')

correct

import testercle from 'testytesterson'

ESM-only since v9001.9001.9000; default export provides all methods.

username
wrong
```
testercle.username
```
correct
```
testercle.username()
```
username is a method, not a property; always call as a function.
imageUrl
wrong
```
testercle.imageUrl
```
correct
```
testercle.imageUrl()
```
imageUrl is a method; requires parentheses.

Quickstart

Demonstrates basic usage of all generator methods using default import.

import testercle from 'testytesterson';
console.log(testercle.username());   // curtis frejaboing
console.log(testercle.name());       // Huge Spotsausage
console.log(testercle.email());      // mazingknife@jean-luc.com
console.log(testercle.lorem());
console.log(testercle.imageUrl());   // https://api.adorable.io/avatars/200/vastbritchesdrug.png
console.log(testercle.birthdayISO());
console.log(testercle.country());    // BE
console.log(testercle.ip());         // 149.33.8.251
