In charlatan: Make Fake Data

charlatan

Description

Make fake data, supporting addresses, person names, dates, times, colors, coordinates, currencies, digital object identifiers (DOIs), jobs, phone numbers, DNA sequences, doubles and integers from distributions and within a range.

Package API

• ch_generate(): generate a data.frame with fake data

• fraudster(): single interface to all fake data methods

• High level interfaces: There are high level functions prefixed with ch_ that wrap low level interfaces, and are meant to be easier to use and provide easy way to make many instances of a thing.

• Low level interfaces: All of these are R6 objects that a user can initialize and then call methods on the them.

Examples

# generate individual types of data
ch_name()
ch_phone_number()
ch_job()

# generate a data.frame
ch_generate()

# one interface to all data types - generate the class first
#  reports the locale to be used, can change optionally
(x <- fraudster())
x$job()
x$name()
x$color_name()
x$hex_color()

# low level interfaces to "data providers"
# these are exported by hidden from package man page
# as most users will likely not interact with these
x <- ColorProvider$new()
x$color_name()
x$hex_color()
