});
// Generate object with randomly generated fields
var user = casual.user;If you want to pass some params to your generator:
casual.define('profile', function(type) {
return {
title: casual.title,
description: casual.description,
type: type || 'private'
};
});
// Generate object with random data
var profile = casual.profile('public');NOTE: if getter function has non-empty arguments list then generator should be called as function casual.profile('public'),
otherwise it should be accessed as property casual.profile.
You can get localized version of casual generator:
var casual = require('casual').ru_RU;
casual.street; // 'Бухарестская'Default locale is en_US.
See src/providers/{{locale}} for more details about available locales and locale specific generators.
If you don't find necessary locale, please create an issue or just add it :)
Get random array element
var item = casual.random_element(['ball', 'clock', 'table']);Extract random object value
var val = casual.random_value({ a: 1, b: 3, c: 42 });
// val will be equal 1 or 3 or 42Extract random object key
var val = casual.random_key({ a: 1, b: 3, c: 42 });
// val will be equal 'a' or 'b' or 'c'Replace placeholders with generators results
casual.populate('{{email}} {{first_name}}');
// '[email protected] Lyla'Pick random element from given array and populate it
var formats = ['{{first_name}}', '{{last_name}} {{city}}'];
casual.populate_one_of(formats);
// Same as
casual.populate(casual.random_element(formats));Replace all # in string with digits
var format = '(##)-00-###-##';
casual.numerify(format); // '(10)-00-843-32'Register generators provider
var words = ['flexible', 'great', 'ok', 'good'];
var doge_provider = {
such: function() {
return 'such ' + casual.random_element(words);
},
doge_phrase: function() {
return 'wow ' + casual.such();
}
};
casual.register_provider(doge_provider);
casual.such; // 'such good'
casual.doge_phrase; // 'wow such flexible'If you want to use a specific seed in order to get a repeatable random sequence:
casual.seed(123);It uses Mersenne Twister pseudorandom number generator in core.
If you want to pass generator as a callback somewhere or just hate properties you always can access generator function at casual._{generator}
// Generate value using function
var title = casual._title();
// Same as
var title = casual.title;
// Pass generator as callback
var array_of = function(times, generator) {
var result = [];
for (var i = 0; i < times; ++i) {
result.push(generator());
}
return result;
};
// Will generate array of five random timestamps
var array_of_timestamps = array_of(5, casual._unix_time);Or you can get functional version of casual generator:
var casual = require('casual').functions();
// Generate title
casual.title();
// Generate timestamp
casual.unix_time();There is a simple cli util which could be used to view/debug providers output:
# Will render table with columns [generator_name, result] for all providers
node utils/show.js
# Will render table with columns [generator_name, result] only for person provider
node utils/show.js person
Currently you can't use casual with browserify. Please check out this browserify-friendly fork Klowner/casual-browserify
