#pod The C<fake_hash> function returns a code reference that, when run,
#pod generates a hash reference.
#pod
#pod The simplest way to use it is to provide a hash reference with some values
#pod replaced with C<fake_*> generator functions. When the generator runs, the
#pod hash will be walked recursively and any code reference found will be
#pod replaced with its output.
#pod
#pod If more than one argument is provided, when the generator runs, they will
#pod be merged according to the following rules:
#pod
#pod =for :list
#pod * code references will be replaced with their outputs
#pod * after replacement, if any arguments aren't hash references, an exception
#pod will be thrown
#pod * hash references will be shallow-merged
#pod
#pod This merging allows for generating sections of hashes differently or
#pod generating hashes that have missing keys (e.g. using L</fake_binomial>):

=head1 NAME
Data::Fake::Core - General purpose generators
=head1 VERSION
version 0.006
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Data::Fake::Core;
$generator = fake_hash(
{
ssn => fake_digits("###-##-###"),
phrase => fake_template(
"%s world", fake_pick(qw/hello goodbye/)
),
die_rolls => fake_array( 3, fake_int(1, 6) ),
temperature => fake_float(-20.0, 120.0),
}
);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides a general-purpose set of fake data functions to generate
structured data, numeric data, structured strings, and weighted alternatives.
All functions are exported by default.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=head2 fake_hash
$generator = fake_hash(
{
name => fake_name,
pet => fake_pick(qw/dog cat frog/),
}
);
$generator = fake_hash( @hash_or_hash_generators );
The C<fake_hash> function returns a code reference that, when run,
generates a hash reference.
The simplest way to use it is to provide a hash reference with some values
replaced with C<fake_*> generator functions. When the generator runs, the
hash will be walked recursively and any code reference found will be
replaced with its output.
If more than one argument is provided, when the generator runs, they will
be merged according to the following rules:
=over 4
=item *
code references will be replaced with their outputs
=item *
after replacement, if any arguments aren't hash references, an exception will be thrown
=item *
hash references will be shallow-merged
=back
This merging allows for generating sections of hashes differently or
generating hashes that have missing keys (e.g. using L</fake_binomial>):
# 25% of the time, generate a hash with a 'spouse' key
$factory = fake_hash(
{ ... },
fake_binomial( 0.25, { spouse => fake_name() }, {} ),
);
=head2 fake_array
$generator = fake_array( 5, fake_digits("###-###-####") );
The C<fake_array> takes a positive integer size and source argument and
returns a generator that returns an array reference with each element built
from the source.
If the size is a code reference, it will be run and can set a different size
for every array generated:
# arrays from size 1 to size 6
$generator = fake_array( fake_int(1,6), fake_digits("###-###-###") );
If the source is a code reference, it will be run; if the source is a hash
or array reference, it will be recursively evaluated like C<fake_hash>.
=head2 fake_pick
$generator = fake_pick( qw/one two three/ );
$generator = fake_pick( @generators );
Given literal values or code references, returns a generator that randomly
selects one of them with equal probability. If the choice is a code
reference, it will be run; if the choice is a hash or array reference, it
will be recursively evaluated like C<fake_hash> or C<fake_array> would do.
=head2 fake_binomial
$generator = fake_binomial(
0.90,
{ name => fake_name() }, # 90% likely
{}, # 10% likely
);
$generator = fake_binomial( $prob, $lte_outcome, $gt_outcome );
The C<fake_binomial> function takes a probability and two outcomes. The
probability (between 0 and 1.0) indicates the likelihood that the return
value will the first outcome. The rest of the time, the return value will
be the second outcome. If the outcome is a code reference, it will be run;
if the outcome is a hash or array reference, it will be recursively
evaluated like C<fake_hash> or C<fake_array> would do.
=head2 fake_weighted
$generator = fake_weighted(
[ 'a_choice', 1 ],
[ 'ten_times_likely', 10 ],
[ $another_generator, 1 ],
);
Given a list of array references, each containing a value and a
non-negative weight, returns a generator that randomly selects a value
according to the relative weights.
If the value is a code reference, it will be run; if it is a hash or array
reference, it will be recursively evaluated like C<fake_hash> or C<fake_array>
would do.
=head2 fake_int
$generator = fake_int(1, 6);
Given a minimum and a maximum value as inputs, returns a generator that
will produce a random integer in that range.
=head2 fake_float
$generator = fake_float(1.0, 6.0);
Given a minimum and a maximum value as inputs, returns a generator that
will produce a random floating point value in that range.
=head2 fake_digits
$generator = fake_digits('###-####'); # "555-1234"
$generator = fake_digits('\###'); # "#12"
Given a text pattern, returns a generator that replaces all occurrences of
the sharp character (C<#>) with a randomly selected digit. To have a
literal sharp character, escape it with a backslash (do it in a
single-quoted string to avoid having to double your backslash to get a
backslash in the string.).
Use this for phone numbers, currencies, or whatever else needs random
digits:
fake_digits('###-##-####'); # US Social Security Number
fake_digits('(###) ###-####'); # (800) 555-1212
=head2 fake_template
$generator = fake_template("Hello, %s", fake_name());
Given a sprintf-style text pattern and a list of generators, returns a
generator that, when run, executes the generators and returns the string
populated with the output.
Use this for creating custom generators from other generators.
=head2 fake_join
$generator = fake_join(" ", fake_first_name(), fake_surname() );
Given a character to join on a list of literals or generators, returns a
generator that, when run, executes any generators and returns them concatenated
together, separated by the separator character.
The separator itself may also be a generator if you want that degree of
randomness as well.
$generator = fake_join( fake_pick( q{}, q{ }, q{,} ), @args );
=head2 fake_flatten
$flatten_generator = fake_flatten( fake_array( 3, fake_first_name() ) );
@array_of_names = $flatten_generator->();
Given a generator that returns an array ref (such as fake_array) or a
hash ref (fake_hash), fake_flatten returns a generator that, when run,
executes the generators and returns their result in a dereferenced state.
This is particularly useful when the return value is used directly as
input to another function, for example within a fake_join.
$generator = fake_join( " ", $flatten_generator );
