string

Commentary

added in 0.0.5

Generates strings which may be templated with #{}, containing the names of local identifiers ¹, variables ², or Java Datafaker expressions ³ (Datafaker version 2.4.1). Local identifiers will be resolved first, then vars, then Faker expressions.

Datafaker functions that take parameters must be invoked with single quotes and no spaces, as in #{Date.birthday '2','4'}. ⁴

By contrast to Datafaker's out-of-the-box expression language, ShadowTraffic preprocesses expression strings so that you can nest identifiers, which is especially useful if you want to do nested function calls. ⁵

You may occasionally want to change the shape of the strings Datafaker generates. The string function supports a handful of transforms. ⁶

By default, strings are generated with a locale configured for United States English, but you can override this. ⁷

Faker expressions and values

Use any of these expressions in the form of #{expr}. Where applicable, links are supplied to the literal value list within the Datafaker project.

Examples

Generating string values

Use any of the valid Datafaker expressions in #{}.

{
    "_gen": "string",
    "expr": "#{Name.fullName}"
}

[
    "Mr. Nanci Stokes",
    "Lucius Bechtelar",
    "Mrs. Benito Turner",
    "Marshall Von II",
    "Devon Mitchell"
]

Referring to local names

Use names to make a map of identifiers to expressions. These identifiers can be used inside of expr and are generally useful for destructuring an object to put specific values into a string.

Local names are given preference over Datafaker expressions.

{
    "topic": "sandbox",
    "vars": {
        "profile": {
            "age": {
                "_gen": "normalDistribution",
                "mean": 40,
                "sd": 10,
                "decimals": 0
            }
        }
    },
    "value": {
        "_gen": "string",
        "names": {
            "age": {
                "_gen": "var",
                "var": "profile",
                "path": [
                    "age"
                ]
            }
        },
        "expr": "I am #{age} years old"
    }
}

[
    "I am 30 years old",
    "I am 34 years old",
    "I am 38 years old",
    "I am 48 years old",
    "I am 28 years old"
]

Referring to vars

Refer to variables defined in vars or varsOnce. These are given preference over Datafaker expressions, but both can be resolved in the same string.

{
    "topic": "sandbox",
    "vars": {
        "n": {
            "_gen": "uniformDistribution",
            "bounds": [
                1,
                10
            ],
            "decimals": 0
        }
    },
    "value": {
        "_gen": "string",
        "expr": "The magic number is #{n}"
    }
}

[
    "The magic number is 2",
    "The magic number is 1",
    "The magic number is 2",
    "The magic number is 1",
    "The magic number is 7"
]

Calling Datafaker functions

Some Datafaker expressions are functions that take parameters. When there's a first-class ShadowTraffic alternative function, you should use they're much less finicky to use. But if you have to, invoke them with single quotes, commas between parameters, and no spaces.

{
    "_gen": "string",
    "expr": "#{Date.birthday '2','4'}"
}

[
    "2022-12-21 08:36:51.822994797",
    "2023-04-30 14:04:32.730806236",
    "2023-01-19 07:28:35.21634256",
    "2022-01-24 15:41:41.376426467",
    "2022-12-15 13:27:46.862454915"
]

Nesting Datafaker functions

Datafaker has a handful of useful functions that require parameters. If you want to dynamically populate those parameters, you can nest identifiers and use names to fill them in:

{
    "_gen": "string",
    "expr": "#{ make }, #{Vehicle.model '#{ make }'}",
    "names": {
        "make": {
            "_gen": "string",
            "expr": "#{Vehicle.make}"
        }
    }
}

[
    "BMW, X5",
    "Volkswagen, T-Roc",
    "Nissan, Pathfiner",
    "Peugeot, 308",
    "Peugeot, 408"
]

Transforming strings

Use case to change the casing of generated strings, choosing one of lower, upper, or capitalized.

You can also abbreviate a string by specifying length or remove a substring with removeSubstring.

{
    "lower": {
        "_gen": "string",
        "expr": "#{Name.fullName}",
        "case": "lower"
    },
    "upper": {
        "_gen": "string",
        "expr": "#{Name.fullName}",
        "case": "upper"
    },
    "capitalized": {
        "_gen": "string",
        "expr": "#{Name.fullName}",
        "case": "capitalized"
    },
    "shortened": {
        "_gen": "string",
        "expr": "#{Name.fullName}",
        "length": 3
    },
    "scrubbed": {
        "_gen": "string",
        "expr": "#{Name.firstName}-#{Name.lastName}",
        "removeSubstring": "-"
    }
}

[
    {
        "lower": "miss jim cartwright",
        "upper": "MR. DEVORA BARTELL",
        "capitalized": "Jill moen",
        "shortened": "Dev",
        "scrubbed": "SantiagoRolfson"
    },
    {
        "lower": "amos watsica ii",
        "upper": "DINORAH BOTSFORD",
        "capitalized": "Billy cummings dds",
        "shortened": "Sac",
        "scrubbed": "RenatoWilliamson"
    }
]

Overriding the locale

Change the locale (default United States/English) by setting locale: first parameter is language, second is region. This example overrides the loclae to Great Britain/English so that county names reflect the region.

{
    "_gen": "string",
    "locale": [
        "en",
        "gb"
    ],
    "expr": "#{Address.county}"
}

[
    "Leicestershire",
    "Essex",
    "County Londonderry",
    "Kent",
    "Worcestershire"
]
