Test Driving a Rails API - Part Two
While we’re at it, let's add a couple of other gems we’ll need for our test environment: factory_bot_rails is a fixtures replacement and generates test model instances. faker is handy for generating fake strings of data to be used in tests. Add those gems to the development and test group of your Gemfile:
-
Full-Text Search for Ruby on Rails with Litesearch
Next up, we'll combine a few of the techniques we've reviewed to implement snappy typeahead searching. Before we do that, though, let's generate more sample data. I will use the popular faker gem to do that:
-
Leveling up your custom fake data with Faker.js
Faker was originally written in Perl and is also available as a library for Ruby, Java, and Python.

Users of the Ruby programming language now have FFXIV mock data
Ah, so the data is just a giant .yml file of potential options, that I compiled, and then faker grabs a random one based on that data. There's no "database" or anything akin to that.

A proposal on how to deal with Monkey Patching

After you do that, you should add "gem "faker"" to your gem file to ensure correct usage, otherwise you may get an error. Once thats done you can head over to the seeding file and add require "faker" the page. In the seeding file is where you would start to "fake" your data and we use the faker library to pick out random dummy data. In the seeding, your gonna start implementing the data which should look like this,
