Static mock data

Static mock data (as opposed to randomly-generated mock data) for sample apps, demos, and POCs.

Features

• 100 mock employees, with names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.
• 100 mock projects, with names, dates, departments, employees assigned, etc.
• Full-size and thumbnail photos for each employee
• No dependencies
• Tested in Node.js and all modern web browsers on Mac, Windows, and Linux
• All data follows logical rules:
  • Usernames, SSNs, addresses, etc. are unique
  • Birthdates, hire dates, and termination dates are in proper chronological order
  • Employee roles "make sense" (e.g. "full time" and "part time" are mutually exclusive)
  • Employees are only assigned to projects in their own department
  • Employees are only assigned to projects that occurred during their employment

Installation

Install using NPM or Yarn:

npm install @jsdevtools/static-mock-data

Usage

The mock data can be used as plain JSON or as JavaScript objects.

Raw JSON

const employees = require("@jsdevtools/static-mock-data/employees.json");

for (let employee of employees) {
  console.log(employee.dob);        // date string
  console.log(employee.portrait);   // relative file path
}

JavaScript Objects

const mockData = require("@jsdevtools/static-mock-data");

for (let employee of mockData.employees) {
  console.log(employee.dob);        // Date object
  console.log(employee.portrait);   // absolute file path
}

Browser support

Static Mock Data supports recent versions of every major web browser. Older browsers may require Babel and/or polyfills.

To use Static Mock Data in a browser, you'll need to use a bundling tool such as Webpack, Rollup, Parcel, or Browserify. Some bundlers may require a bit of configuration, such as setting browser: true in rollup-plugin-resolve.
