Hi there, I'm the maintainer of faker.

I made a simple library in Golang to help Golang engineers to create dummy data based on given struct.

Current version: v2.0.1

Features:

- Generate dummy data based on defined structs

- Generate based on given tags

- Add custom generator functions and custom tags

When I had a project I wanted to give it a try in go and used faker. Your project is responsible for generating billions of fake credit card transactions and bank transfers.

Thank you!

Woah, thank you. It's a pleasure if it can help people :D

We use the shit out of the Python port, and I can see how people might think this is boring/mundane stuff, but this is the best solution to the problem out there.

This has saved me days of work, at least.
