Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Test Data Libraries for Elixir
Faker generates sample data that looks realistic but is fake. So, instead of using a sequence like those provided by ExMachina or ExZample, we can use Faker to generate false but genuine-looking data:

How to write test cases for databse related functions
Generating the data structs for the views can be automated using libraries like Faker and Blacksmith - and honestly writing your own generators is a fun and easy exercise in really understanding your data and how it's manipulated (which I would argue is critical to writing clean software).
- Succinct naming

Test Data Libraries for Elixir
ExZample is a factory library I wrote which allows you to use defined examples in your struct modules. My goal was to enable developers to organize their factories in any way they want while still having access to convenient functions. For example, if you don't define an example function in GitHub.Repo, you can still build the struct with its default values:
