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:

Faker Gem
To begin using faker, you need to install the gem, which is simply done by running "gem install faker". 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,
