Suggestion: Incorporate faker.js project / data

Open Marak opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

Hello there.

I wanted to make a friendly suggestion that you might want to incorporate data from or merge parts of this project with https://github.com/marak/faker.js

The functionalities seem very overlapping and we've got many active contributors and javascript localization datasets for 27 localities.

I'd be willing to add you as a contributor or even transfer the faker.js project to a new organization. The specific functionalities you've added to fake-identity would be useful to have in faker.js.

A better goal would probably be to separate out faker.js localization data to separate modules so libraries like fake-identity and faker.js could easily consume the same data sets.

I have seen faker.js but I haven't taken a dive into the code, yet. I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the heads up. If you'd like to add me as a contributor, that would be OK. I'll try to set some time aside to incorporating some of the fake-identity code to faker.

I'll bet having modular data sets would also be useful for other developers that need access to the data alone.
