Build a REST API that returns realistic, Faker.js-generated data — real names, valid emails, plausible addresses, proper dates. Not lorem ipsum, not random strings, but data that looks exactly like production.
Rendering "user_1", "user_2" or "lorem ipsum" in your UI makes it impossible to spot layout bugs from real content.
A hardcoded list of 5 users doesn't test overflow, wrapping, truncation, or edge cases that only appear with realistic field lengths.
Static fixtures always look the same. Real production data is varied — long names, short names, special characters, empty fields.
Select the exact category and subtype you need. Every field generates data that looks just like the real thing.
Every field is generated using the appropriate Faker.js module. Here's a sample user record.
