Faker: Look Up Faker Methods with the fakerbot gem 🔍

[akabiru]

Hello @stympy , and my fellow faker fans 👋

A couple of months ago, I built fakerbot, which is a CLI app that aims to make it easier to pick the right Faker methods at the comfort of the terminal.

I'm keen to know what your thoughts are on the tool, and if you have any ideas that could help make it more useful to people.

Thanks. 🙂

_Quick Demo_

$ gem install fakerbot

I like the idea!

Thanks @vbrazo - please shout if you have any ideas/suggestions. 🙂 🙇

[vbrazo]

Any suggestions on how we could work together?

I was building this CLI https://github.com/stympy/faker/pull/1278 but I haven't finished it yet. It'd be cool if we could have this functionality as well.

Nice one, didn't know you had started work on a CLI for faker. To clarify, is your suggestion to incorporate fakerbot directly into faker?

@akabiru I like the idea of pulling fakerbot into faker, if you're interested in that.

I think it's cool. :)

Hey @stympy , I think it would be cool to pull fakerbot into faker too! I'd be happy to take on that task if you and @vbrazo are happy. 🙂

That works for me, thanks!
