Random Fake Data Generator for Chrome (Beta)

This is a google chrome extension which will generate a random text of given length, and will paste the generated text into the last active input form field.

Built on top on faker.js. Huge thanks to @marak/faker.js

Built using

Node, TypeScript, fakerjs

Building Instructions

4. • npm run build - Generates production application

Todo

• Write Tests?
• Support for various data types. such as Name, Credit Card, Address, Phone Number etc... (The reason I chose faker js is to support this kind of functionality)
• Also, add a context menu option to insert text.
• Refactor codebase more into Typescript way. (Yes... I am still a noob here !)

Let me know what you guys think

Honestly, this project was my effort to learn TypeScript, as well as chrome API's, Still more than halfway to go. I will try to keep adding features.

feel completely free to make PR's and create issues. I would love em to see up here. And let me know what you guys think!
