php-fakerHow do I use Laravel Faker?

Laravel Faker is a library that generates fake data for testing purposes. It can be used to quickly generate large amounts of data for your application.

To use Laravel Faker, first you need to install it via Composer:

composer require fzaninotto/faker

Then you can use it in your application. Here is an example of how to generate a fake name:

$faker = Faker\Factory::create();

echo $faker->name;

// Output:
// Dr. Zane Koss

Code explanation
