Faker::Json

shallow_json(width_int, options_hash) -> JSON formated string

Takes a width_int and options_hash where the number of key value pairs in the returned JSON string is equal to the width_int.

options_hash = {key: Class.method, value: Class.method} where Class is any class in the Faker gem. For example if you want random names for keys and random Star Wars quotes for values you would write the options_hash as follows

options_hash = { key: 'Name.first_name', value: 'StarWars.quote' }

It is important to note that you do not need to append your Faker Gem Class calls with Faker::

Faker::Json.shallow_json(3, key: 'RockBand.name', value: 'Seinfeld.quote')
# =>
{"Parliament Funkadelic":"They're real, and they're spectacular.",
  "Fleetwood Mac":"I'm not a lesbian. I hate men, but I'm not a lesbian.",
  "The Roots":"It became very clear to me sitting out there today that every decision
  I've made in my entire life has been wrong. My life is the complete opposite of everything
  I want it to be. Every instinct I have, in every aspect of life, be it something to wear,
  something to eat - it's all been wrong."}

add_depth_to_json(JSON, width_int, options_hash) -> JSON

Functions exactly as Json#shallow_json() except it takes in a JSON as an additional argument and returns that JSON with new generated nested JSONs in place of the lowest nested values. It is important to note that the JSON must be a JSON and not a hash.

json = Faker::Json.shallow_json(3, key: 'Name.first_name', value: 'Name.last_name')
puts json # =>
{"Alisha":"Olson","Everardo":"DuBuque","Bridgette":"Turner"}

json2 = Faker::Json.add_depth_to_json(json, 2, key: 'Name.first_name', value: 'Name.last_name')
puts json2 # =>
{"Alisha":{"Daisy":"Trantow","Oda":"Haag"},
 "Everardo":{"Javier":"Marvin","Eliseo":"Schuppe"},
 "Bridgette":{"Jorge":"Kertzmann","Lelah":"MacGyver"}}

 json3 = Faker::Json.add_depth_to_json(json2, 4, key: 'Name.first_name', value: 'Name.last_name')
 puts json3 # =>
 {"Alisha":
   {"Daisy":
     {"Bulah":"Wunsch","Cristian":"Champlin","Lester":"Bartoletti","Greg":"Jacobson"},
    "Oda":
      {"Salvatore":"Kuhlman","Aubree":"Okuneva","Larry":"Schmitt","Velva":"Gibson"}},
  "Everardo":
    {"Javier":
      {"Eduardo":"Orn","Laila":"Kub","Thad":"Legros","Dion":"Wilderman"},
    "Eliseo":
      {"Olin":"Hilpert","Marisa":"Greenfelder","Karlee":"Schmitt","Judd":"Larkin"}},
  "Bridgette":
    {"Jorge":
      {"Eloy":"Pfeffer","Kody":"Hansen","Paxton":"Lubowitz","Abe":"Lesch"},
    "Lelah":
      {"Rick":"Wiza","Bonita":"Bayer","Gardner":"Auer","Felicity":"Abbott"}}}
