TL;DR — Falso is a modern, tree-shakeable, well-documented replacement for Faker.js

You probably know what happened to Faker.js around two weeks ago.

In collaboration with Netanel Basal, I created a new mock data generator lib to provide a quick, suitable replacement for those relying on Faker (including us).

Meet Falso 🎩

✅ 160+ Functions ( at the time of writing)
✅ Tree Shakable
✅ Fully Typed
✅ Entity Functions
✅ Well documented with live previews
✅ Single and Array Results

There was a lot of community effort put into building this library. In just two weeks, we accomplished:

✨ A whopping 1.6k Github Stars
💪 59 Merged pull requests
🎁 58 New Features

I want to thank everyone who took part in this, you rock!

Give Falso a try and let me know what you think 🌟
