NuGet Project Uncovered: FakeO

If you are coming to this series of posts for the first time you might check out my introductory post for a little context.

FakeO is a fake object generation library. It doesn?t seem to play nicely with objects that require parameters in the constructor. However if you have lots of classes that have a default constructor and plain old get/set properties this project might be very useful.

You can even specify not just random text or numbers to generate, but some specific context driven data.

For example:

• Random company name
• Lorem Ipsum to various lengths.
• Phone numbers
• Random strings based on a regex.
• etc?

// example FakeO call
var comp = FakeO.Create.Fake<Company>(
                c => c.Name = FakeO.Company.Name(),
                c => c.Phone = FakeO.Phone.Number(),
                c => c.EmployeeCount = FakeO.Number.Next(100,200)); // random number from 100 to 200
