Kaminari VS faker

With around 50 new gems released daily, it is common to use trending libraries for managing everyday tasks. You probably use Devise for authentication, Cancan for authorization, Kaminari for pagination, or run tests with Rspec.

I used kaminari for paginating.

Note that this example uses methods from Kaminari, but you can adapt it to any other pagination method.

- Pagination system with the Kaminari gem (https://github.com/kaminari/kaminari)

3- To use pagination we will be using the kaminari gem. Simply add this line to your Gemfile.rb and hit bundle install

There are many Ruby Gems like Kaminari for pagination that works with Postgresql/ActiveRecord but not DynamoDB

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:

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:

Faker was originally written in Perl and is also available as a library for Ruby, Java, and Python.

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.

It's with the Faker library. I was able to reproduce it by spinning up a new rails up, specifying the faker gem , yours, and running the command gives the same error.

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,
