charlatan (version 0.1.0)

charlatan-package: charlatan

Description

Make fake data, supporting addresses, person names, dates, times, colors, coordinates, currencies, digital object identifiers (DOIs), jobs, phone numbers, DNA sequences, doubles and integers from distributions and within a range.

Package API

• ch_generate: generate a data.frame with fake data

• fraudster: single interface to all fake data methods

• High level interfaces: There are high level functions prefixed with ch_ that wrap low level interfaces, and are meant to be easier to use and provide easy way to make many instances of a thing.

• Low level interfaces: All of these are R6 objects that a user can initialize and then call methods on the them.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# generate individual types of data
ch_name()
ch_phone_number()
ch_job()

# generate a data.frame
ch_generate()

# one interface to all data types - generate the class first
#  reports the locale to be used, can change optionally
(x <- fraudster())
x$job()
x$name()
x$color_name()
x$hex_color()

# low level interfaces to "data providers"
# these are exported by hidden from package man page
# as most users will likely not interact with these
x <- ColorProvider$new()
x$color_name()
x$hex_color()
# }
