Usage

Quick Start

1. Install NuGet package. See https://www.nuget.org/packages/RimuTec.Faker for instructions
2. Add using RimuTec.Faker; at the beginning of your C# source file (or the equivalent for your preferred .NET language)
3. Generate fake data, e.g. var firstName = Name.NameWithMiddle();

In case of name clashes with other classes in your code base, use one of the following techniques in C# source files:

1. use fully qualify names, e.g. var firstName = RimuTec.Faker.Name.NameWithMiddle();. Use this if there are only a couple of occurances.
2. add using NameFaker = RimuTec.Faker.Name; at the beginning of the file and then var firstName = NameFaker.NameWithMiddle();. Use this option if you have many usages within the source file.
